What does Charles Darwin have in common with Johannes Gutenberg? How about Andy Warhol, Katherine Johnson, Martin Luther, Christabel Pankhurst, Steve Jobs and DJ Kool Herc? Each of them upended a cultural, technical, spiritual or scientific paradigm and, in so doing, changed at least part of the world forever. This book presents profiles of 50 rule-breakers who weren't satisfied with the ordinary. The innovations included here range from the printing press (Gutenberg) to the fight for women's equality at the ballot box (Pankhurst), the smartphone (Jobs) and the invention of hip-hop (Herc). The book is filled with original line drawings.
