How does a scientific discovery become a social revolution? The path is harder and more tortuous than you’d think. Thomas Goetz examines how the germ theory of disease went mainstream -- thanks , in part, to Sherlock Holmes -- and explains how discovery is only part of the game. He explores the invention of computing, how a handful of Iowa corn farmers transformed agriculture, and how science is as much driven by emotion as by reason.
