- catalog abstract ""The central thesis of this book is that the chance, logic, genius and zeitgeist perspectives can be integrated into a single coherent theory of creativity in science. But for this integration to succeed, chance must be elevated to the status of primary cause. Logic, genius and the zeitgeist still have significant roles to play but mainly operate insofar as they enhance, or constrain, the operations of a chance combinatorial process."--Jacket.".
