Explore the ambitions, the failures and the splendidly unreasonable lives of 30 inventors who changed the world, in this updated hardback edition.
With 30 short stories of tragedy, skulduggery, disappointment and a general disregard for the rules, delve into the lives of the amazing people who gave us landmark inventions. From the light bulb to dynamite, author Jeremy Coller reveals the real people behind the creations, exploring the power of ambition, the fear of failure and the flaws in human nature that can keep even the most determined individuals from success.

These stories provide an unconventional look at the processes and personalities behind products that changed the world, including Jonas Salk and the polio vaccine, King Gillette and the safety razor, Alfred Nobel and dynamite, Sam Colt and the revolver, Rudolph Diesel and the diesel engine.
