Describes the transformative role played by "outsiders" in the growth of the modern life sciences. From Noam Chomsky using linguistics to answer questions about brain architecture, to Erwin Schrodinger contemplating DNA as a physicist would, this book features outsiders who show how much there is to gain from disrespecting conventional boundaries.
