Synopsis
Things You Never Knew About Fabulous Science Myths
The apple didn't hit him. The bull doesn't care about red. And your toilet has no opinion on hemispheres.
Archimedes never sprinted naked through the streets of Syracuse (as far as anyone can prove). Kekulé's dream about a snake ate its own tail thirty years after the discovery it supposedly caused, at a dinner held in his honour. Galileo probably didn't drop anything off the Leaning Tower. Somebody just needed a good story.
This book is about how good stories happen to true things. A real observation picks up a costume, loses its footnotes, and ends up as a fact you've repeated at a dinner party with total confidence.
Funny, fast and fair to the legends it takes apart, this is a book for anyone who has ever said "Actually, I read that..." and felt a small doubt afterwards. Read it, and you'll never trust a tidy anecdote again. You'll enjoy the untidy truth a great deal more.
Finally, a book that admits the hero sometimes had to redo the sums.

About the Author
Simon Godfrey is a lifelong blues enthusiast and avid listener whose deep knowledge of the genre comes from decades spent following the music wherever it led. He now writes to put that knowledge into stories, researching each subject in depth so the history behind the music gets the same care as the music itself.
His work is written for blues fan, and curious newcomers alike, with one aim: to help readers discover and understand the music through deeply researched, engaging stories that connect the artists, songs, recordings, and influences that shaped the blues - so they can uncover forgotten treasures, understand why the music matters, and hear the blues in a whole new way.
