Beschreibung

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. Includes:

· Why Leonardo Da Vinci was the original rogue trader

· Why the teenage Émilie du Châtelet stripped to her underwear to fight the king's guard

· Why Sigmund Freud lived his life like Scarface

· Why Ernest Hemingway was the worst KGB agent ever

'Katie Spalding is one of those annoyingly talented writers. Funny, and with an absurd amount of obscure knowledge, The Limits of Genius is a must-read on how everyone is much, much stupider than they make out.'
James Felton, author of 52 Times Britain Was a Bellend

Über den Autor
Katie Spalding spent ten years of her life studying maths, which is just about the upper limit on how much maths you can do before people start actively avoiding you at parties. Ironically, the high point of her academic career was appearing on University Challenge twice, during which times she answered zero questions on maths or science but performed surprisingly well on the 'historical cross-dressers' and 'New World monkeys' round. Katie now writes for the science news website IFLScience, and has supplied research for the TV show QI and its sister podcast No Such Thing as a Fish.
