"A readable, thoughtful, provocative study of innovators and innovation in a variety of fields and endeavors...  Narrative dominates here, and this would make an excellent textbook for gifted high-school classes and for team seminars in innovation and creative thinking. The stories she tells are lively and illuminating, and Ness is a superb writer." --Dallas Morning News"In this intriguing book, Ness, an accomplished scientist/physician and an authority on innovation, sets out to 'unmask genius.' She examines outstanding intellects across a wide spectrum of disciplines--biology, education, physics, social psychology, medicine, chemistry, and so on.
