|summary=A history of those scientists who have broken the rules, played things their own way, and challenged the perception of scientists and quiet, methodical and logical. Michael Brooks' writing is as clear and engaging as ever. Highly recommended. Michael Brooks also submitted [[It Takes A Library...|It Takes A Library... by Michael Brooks]] to Bookbag, explaining about the research process, including Michael's love of libraries and admiration of JBS Haldane.

If you've not read it already, we heartily recommend his earlier work [[13 Things That Don't Make Sense by Michael Brooks|13 Things That Don't Make Sense]]. [[Farmer Buckley's Exploding Trousers by Stephanie Pain]] looks at other fascinating moments in the history of science, and is well-worth a read.
