The books behind the guides.

A brilliant chemist defects from industry giant Merck to found a startup, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, aiming to revolutionize drug discovery by designing new medicines atom by atom, leading his team in a high-stakes race against corporate behemoths, academic rivals, and immense financial pressure.

The true story of how a neglected cancer compound sold for pennies became the blockbuster drug Imbruvica, minting billionaires and remaking the biotech industry while leaving many of its scientific creators behind.

Through candid interviews with nine Nobel Prize–winning physicists, an accomplished cosmologist distills the human habits, mindsets, and soft skills—above all curiosity—that produce world-changing achievement and dissolve the imposter syndrome.

A concise guide to the principles, processes, and litigation of United States patent law, designed to be accessible for non-lawyers and a useful reference for legal practitioners.

The book follows the biotech firm Vertex Pharmaceuticals over two decades as it battles scientific challenges, fierce competition, and financial uncertainty to develop breakthrough drugs for serious diseases like Hepatitis C and Cystic Fibrosis.

A Nobel laureate immunologist demystifies the world of science—who scientists are, how discovery works, and what it takes to live a life of rigorous, evidence-based inquiry.

A narrative history of Bell Labs, America's greatest innovation factory, revealing the unique confluence of brilliant people, systemic problems, and management philosophy that produced the foundational technologies of the information age.

A practical, end-to-end guide that teaches scientists and engineers how to recognize their own inventiveness, document inventions, draft patents, navigate office actions, and build patent portfolios.

An exploration of how to nurture radical, widely-dismissed ideas ('loonshots') by applying the science of phase transitions to understand and structure group behavior, separating creative 'artists' from operational 'soldiers' to foster innovation.

A Nobel laureate uses the story of his unlikely path into science, his cancer-gene discovery, and the history of disease to argue that scientists are supremely human and that science, though transformative, is caught in paradoxical strife with society.

A Nobel laureate's witty and humane guide to the art and practice of scientific research, revealing it as a passionate, creative, and deeply human endeavor.

A practical, step-by-step manual that teaches inventors how to create their own formal patent drawings that meet strict U.S. Patent and Trademark Office requirements, using pen and ink, a computer, or a camera.

A comprehensive, step-by-step guide for inventors to evaluate the patentability of their idea, prepare and file their own U.S. patent application, and ultimately protect and market their invention without a lawyer.

A practical guide for inventors, scientists, and engineers on how to develop and implement a coherent patent strategy to protect their intellectual property and achieve commercial success.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning "biography" of cancer that chronicles the 4,000-year history of the disease, detailing the scientific quest to understand its biology and the epic human struggle to treat, cure, and prevent it.

A revealing history of the digital revolution, told through the fascinating stories of the inventors, hackers, geniuses, and geeks whose collaborative creativity led to the creation of the computer and the Internet.
