Bad Ideas? by Lord Robert Winston

Bad Ideas? by Lord Robert Winston

Inspiring, unusual and at times controversial, Bad Ideas? In so doing it celebrates man's extraordinary capacity for achievement and offers a hopeful way forward to protect humanity against what sometimes seem like bad ideas.

A provocative inversion of traditional histories of scientific ingenuity.. by the end I realised that what Winston's own powerful and well-paced narration had opened my eyes to was the importance of the non-scientific being better informed. -- Christina Hardyment * The Times *
With erudition and impeccable logic he traces the emergence of inventions through history ... His arguments are well presented and easily followed, while his conclusions are often as controversial as the inventions themselves. * The Good Book Guide *
