Phaidon Press. Very Good. 122mm / 229mm. Paperback. 2016. 192 pages. <br>A fun and fabulous take on the art of making mista kes. Erik Kessels celebrates imperfection and failure and shows w hy they are an essential part of the creative process. n nFailed it! celebrates the power of mistakes and shows how they can enric h the creative process. This is part photobook and part guide to loosening up and making mistakes to take the fear out of failure and encourage experimentation. n nIt showcases the best and most hilarious examples of imperfection and failure across a broad ran ge of creative forms, including art, design, photography, archite cture and product design, to inspire and encourage creatives to e mbrace and celebrate their mistakes. n nWe live in an era when ev eryone is striving for perfection and we have become afraid of fa ilure, which limits our potential. Mistakes help us find new ways of thinking and innovative solutions, and failures can change ou r perceptions and open up new ways of looking things. This book t ransforms mistakes from something to be embarrassed about into a cause for celebration. n nIt includes over 150 visual examples dr awn from Kessels personal collection of artworks and found photog raphs, along with tips, quotes, anecdotes and wisdom for celebrat ing with failure. To quote Kessels: 'the ubiquity of Apple + Z, m eans that we can literally undo any mistake before it has had tim e to breathe, be considered and - perhaps - evolve into something else: a fascinating, strange, provocative or even original piece of work. This book asks readers to embrace their fuck-ups, learn from them and celebrate their tawdry glory'. ., Phaidon Press, 2016, 3, Oxford University Press. Very Good. 9.6 x 0.7 x 7.4 inches. Paperback. 2010. Third edition. 178 pages. <br>At the core of good research lies the careful desi gn of experiments. However, all too often a successful design com es only after a painful trial-and-error process that wastes valua ble time and resources. Now in a new edition, Experimental Desig n for the Life Sciences teaches today's students how to effective ly design experiments, equipping them with the skills they need t o become tomorrow's top researchers. Employing a refreshingly app roachable and articulate style, the text explains the essential e lements of experimental design in clear, practical terms, so that students can grasp and apply even the most challenging concepts, including power analysis and pseudoreplication. In addition, it emphasizes the interrelatedness of experimental design, statistic s, and ethical considerations throughout. A broad range of exampl es--drawn from the primary literature and the authors' extensive personal experience--demonstrate the practical relevance of exper imental design in real-life biological research. The only underg raduate text devoted to this topic, Experimental Design for the L ife Sciences, Third Edition, demonstrates how good experimental d esign relies on clear thinking and biological understanding, not on mathematical or statistical complexity. Pedagogical Features * Self-test questions, with answers at the end of the book, rein force essential facts and encourage students to check their under standing as they progress * Take-home messages throughout chapte rs focus students' attention on the principles that they must mas ter * Coverage of ethical issues, flagged in the margins, raises awareness of this important aspect of the field Editorial Revie ws Review I think it is splendid; it is the sort of short and c oncise text that students remember for a long time and that they hang on to long after the course is passed.--Bernt Walther, Unive rsity of Bergen I would have loved to have such a book in this p hase of my scientific career.--Mariet Hefting, Utrecht University A well-presented, clearly argued, concise, and witty introducti on to one of the most important topics in the life sciences.--Nic k Royle, Exeter University About the Author Graeme Ruxton obtai ned a first degree in Physics before getting a PhD in Statistics and Modelling Science.
