Looks like a good one from Stephen Johnson: Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation. Just ordered it. Johnson–writer, Web guru, and bestselling author of Everything Bad Is Good for You–delivers a sweeping look at innovation spanning nearly the whole of human history. What sparks our great ideas? Johnson breaks down the […]
