A hilarious look at how the line between 'genius' and 'extremely
lucky idiot' is finer than we'd like to admit.
The more you delve
into the stories behind history's greatest names, the more you
realise they have something in common: a mystifying lack of common
sense. Take Marie Curie, famous for both discovering radioactivity
and having absolutely zero lab safety protocols. Or Lord Byron, who
literally took a bear with him to university. Or James Glaisher, a
hot-air balloon pioneer who nearly ended up as the world's first
human satellite...
From Nikola Tesla falling in love with a pigeon
to non-swimmer Albert Einstein's near-fatal love of sailing
holidays, The Limits of Genius is filled with examples of the
so-called brightest and best of humanity doing, to put it bluntly,
some really dumb shit.
These are the stories that deserve to be
told but never are: the hilarious, regrettable and downright
baffling lesser-known achievements of the men and women who somehow
managed to bungle their way into our history books.
