Book Synopsis Strange Brains and Genius by : Clifford A. Pickover
Download or read book Strange Brains and Genius written by Clifford A. Pickover and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1999-05-19 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never has the term mad scientist been more fascinatingly explored than in internationally recognized popular science author Clifford Pickover's richly researched wild ride through the bizarre lives of eccentric geniuses. A few highlights: "The Pigeon Man from Manhattan" Legendary inventor Nikola Tesla had abnormally long thumbs, a peculiar love of pigeons, and a horror of women's pearls. "The Worm Man from Devonshire" Forefather of modern electric-circuit design Oliver Heaviside furnished his home with granite blocks and sometimes consumed only milk for days (as did Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison). "The Rabbit-Eater from Lichfield" Renowned scholar Samuel Johnson had so many tics and quirks that some mistook him for an idiot. In fact, his behavior matches modern definitions of obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette's syndrome. Pickover also addresses many provocative topics: the link between genius and madness, the role the brain plays in alien abduction and religious experiences, UFOs, cryonics -- even the whereabouts of Einstein's brain!

Book Synopsis The Insanity of Genius and the General Inequality of Human Faculty by : J. F. Nisbet
Download or read book The Insanity of Genius and the General Inequality of Human Faculty written by J. F. Nisbet and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Insanity of Genius and the General Inequality of Human Faculty: Physiologically Considered Men of genius have exercised a powerful influence in the world since history began. Yet they are still more or less of an enigma even to themselves. As chiefs and warriors among savage tribes, as men of letters, art, or science, statesmen or military commanders in civilised communities, they win the admiration of their fellows without furnishing in their own lives any conclusive indication of the means by which their success is achieved. They strike out a path for themselves, and seem to owe little or nothing to help or example. Genius has never been the monopoly of any class or system. It is as likely to manifest itself in the peasant as in the peer, and, indeed, in any list that might be drawn up of the great men of the world, examples would be found of intellectual capacity asserting itself in all conditions of life, and quite independently of the much-vaunted advantages of education. By what fatality a small number of Ts individuals thus find themselves born to pre-eminence in every successive generation - carrying, so to speak, the marshal's baton in their knapsack - is one of the most interesting questions that can engage the human mind, and many, accordingly, have been the speculations indulged in with regard to the nature and origin of the gifts which lift the favoured few above the general level of their species. For over two thousand years some subtle relationship has been thought to exist between genius and insanity.
