Description: "Following on from his research which resulted in the Outsider's Edge, published in late 2007, Taylor puts cultural icons under the microscope. He researches elite sports people, actors, musicians, scentists, explorers and icons from the arts. Once again he concentrates on their childhoods and early adult influences to draw parallels which go some way to explain why certain people achieve extreme fame and fortune in creative fields."--Provided by publisher.
