All people have been born with good and bad within themselves. Most control both sides and live normal lives. Some fall prey to demented ideas that have been planted from years before. By definition the meaning of Amiss is mistaken, inappropriate, reprehensible, blameworthy, guilty, sinful, or unholy. Amiss is a story of someone that is by definition just as defined. As we pass through life we think we know the people around us. Usually we can find our way through without many disruptions or surprises. Amiss tells a story of a long lost secret that comes close to home. A secret that was planted and has grown without anyone seeing it blossom. Now grown and full of distorted meaning this seed has grown into an unholy menace. Finding and stopping this evil will prove to be an eye opening experience. This person and their secret can only be called Amiss

Like any goal-oriented procedure, experiment is subject to many kinds of failures. These failures have a variety of features, depending on the particulars of their sources. For the experimenter these pitfalls should be avoided and their effects minimized. For the historian-philosopher of science and the science educator, on the other hand, they are instructive starting points for reflecting on science in general and scientific method and practice in particular. Often more is learned from failure than from confirmation and successful application. The identification of error, its source, its context, and its treatment shed light on both practices and epistemic claims. This book shows that it is fruitful to bring to light forgotten and lost failures, subject them to analysis and learn from their moral. The study of failures, errors, pitfalls and mistakes helps us understand the way knowledge is pursued and indeed generated. The book presents both historical accounts and philosophical analyses of failures in experimental practice. It covers topics such as "error as an object of study", "learning from error", "concepts and dead ends", "instrumental artifacts", and "surprise and puzzlement". This book will be of interest to historians, philosophers, and sociologists of science as well as to practicing scientists and science educators.
