The highly admired scientist Linus Pauling, a double Nobel laureate in chemistry        and peace, was once asked by a student. 'Dr Pauling, how do you have so many good        ideas?' Pauling thought for a moment and replied: 'Well, David, I have a lot of        ideas and throw away the bad ones.'Where do ideas come from? Why do some people have        many more of them than others? How do you distinguish the good ideas from the bad?        Most intriguing of all, perhaps, why do the best ideas sometimes strike in a flash        of 'sudden genius'? These questions are the subject of this book. Andrew Robinson        explores the exceptional creativity in both scientists and artists by following the        trail that led ten individuals from childhood to the achievement of a famous        creative breakthrough as an adult, inarchaeology, architecture, art, biology,        chemistry, cinema, music, literature, photography, and physics.Broken into three        parts, the book begins with the scientific study of creativity, covering talent,        genius, intelligence, memory, dreams, the unconscious, savant syndrome,        synaesthesia, and mental illness. The second part tells the stories of five        breakthroughs by scientists and five by artists, ranging from Curie's discovery of        radium and Einstein's theory of special relativity to Mozart's composing of The        Marriage of Figaro and Virginia Woolf's writing of Mrs Dalloway.Robinson concludes        by considering what highly creative people who achieve breakthroughs have in common;        whether breakthroughs in science and art follow patterns; and whether they always        involve imaginative leaps and even 'genius'.
