Casti examines moments when scientific certainty flunks out of school.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"603\"\u003eDrawing on case studies from physics, biology, mathematics and chaos theory, Casti looks at how dominant frameworks break down then investigates what replaces them. Rather than treating science as a steady march forward, he focuses on its innate instability. All the blind spots, errors and conceptual upheavals that force a discipline to rethink itself, are unravelled inside the pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"605\" data-end=\"764\"\u003eAccessible but rigorous, this is late-80s science writing at its most ambitious — concerned less with facts than with how knowledge reorganises when we push the button a little too hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"605\" data-end=\"764\"\u003eAbacus, 1989.
