Sommario/riassunto

Genius Explained addresses the belief that genius is born not made. Controversially, it suggests genius is not a mysterious gift but the product of environment, personality and hard work and looks at the lives of, amongst others, Charles Darwin, George Eliot, the Bronte sisters, Michael Faraday and Albert Einstein.
