Everything in my life has compounded. I think that is normal for anyone really. However looking back, it is crazy how some of those dots got connected. #polymathy #stevejobs #connectingthedots

📢#OutNow in #OA: 'The Last Man Who Knew Everything: #ThomasYoung' by Andrew Robinson, foreword by Martin Rees.
No one has given the #polymath Thomas Young (1773–1829) the all-around examination he so richly deserves—until now. Celebrated #biographer Andrew Robinson portrays a man who solved mystery after mystery in the face of ridicule and rejection and never sought fame.
This #biography is the fascinating story of a driven yet modest hero who cared less about what others thought of him than for the joys of an unbridled pursuit of knowledge—with a new foreword by Martin Rees and a new postscript discussing #polymathy in the two centuries since the time of Young. It returns this neglected genius to his proper position in the pantheon of great #scientific thinkers.
