Read about Ada Lovelace, the world's first computer programmer ; the Riemann hypothesis, mathematics' greatest unsolved problem ; William Preece, a Post Office chief engineer who declared that 'Americans have need of the telephone, but we do not. We have plenty of messenger boys' ; the forgery of Piltdown Man, the fossil thought to be the 'missing link' ; how Vesalius scotched the idea that men have one rib fewer that women ; and much more, including the bane of mosquitoes everywhere, the insecticide DDT ...
