Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
From the geographical miscalculation that led to Columbus' discovery of America to Leibniz's development of modern logic under the mistaken belief that the "I Ching" illustrated the principles of calculus, Umberto Eco explores the "Force of the False"--erroneous ideas that led to unanticipated truths.
Review:
"Umberto Eco has a well-attested flair for ferreting out curious historical anecdotes like this, and they provide the spice in this short collection of essays."
Roy Harris, Times Literary Supplement, 06/11/1999
