The Travels and Adventures of Serendipity: A Study in Sociological Semantics and the Sociology of Science

From the names of cruise lines and bookstores to an Australian ranch and a nudist camp outside of Atlanta, the word serendipity - that happy blend of wisdom and luck by which something is discovered not quite by accident - is ubiquitous. This book traces the word's eventful history from its 1754 coinage into the twentieth century.
