Sparks of Genius: The Thirteen Thinking Tools of… door Robert S. Root-Bernstein
I think I mentioned this in one of my earlier posts, but this book is *super* heavy on research and interviews, which I wasn't expecting. There are some portions that are pretty hard to wade through, but the last chapter really redeemed it for me.
Excellent study of the 13 tools employed by extraordinary people who does extraordinary things.

The author's attempt at defining the science/medicine behind the tales was a nice start. What I'd like to have read was more than a start. Plenty of authors have successfully melded difficult to understand facts with entertainment. This was more of a light read, which unfortunately left me wanting more.… (meer)
