Read this part of the presentation of the book:

"Our beliefs about how new ideas come about are based on wishful thinking and romanticized ideas of history. Like the story of how Newton discovered gravity when an apple hit him on the head. In the new paperback edition of The Myths of Innovation, bestselling author Scott Berkun takes a careful look at the history of innovation, including the recent software and Internet age, to reveal powerful truths about how ideas become successful innovations -- truths that people can apply to the challenges of the present day. By understanding how Einstein's discovery of E=mc2 or Tim Berner Lee's creation of the Web were based on the re-use of work done by others, you will see new ways to develop existing knowledge into new innovations."
