How this hook came to he 本书是如何诞生的
精彩选段：
“I always thought of myself as a humanities person as a kid, but I liked electronics,” he said. “Then I read something that one of my heroes, Edwin Land of Polaroid, said about the importance of people who could stand at the intersection of humanities and sciences, and I decided that’s what I wanted to do.”
“我小的时候，一直都以为自己是个适合人文学科的人，但我喜欢电子设备，”他说，“然后我看到了我的偶像之一，宝丽来创始人埃德温•兰德(Edwin Land)说的一些话，是关于既揎长人文又能驾驭科学的人的重要性的，于是我决定，我要成为这样的人。”
It was as if he were suggesting themes for his biography (and in this instance, at least, the theme turned out to be valid).
这好像是他在向我暗示这本传记的主题(这一次，这个主题至少是合理的)。
The creativity that can occur when a feel for both the humanities and the sciences combine in one strong personality was the topic that most interested me in my biographies of Franklin and Einstein, and I believe that it will be a key to creating innovative economies in the twenty-first century.
在我写的富兰克林以及爱因斯坦的传记中，最让我感兴趣的话题就是，一个具有强烈个性的人身上集合了人文和科学的天赋后所能产生的那种创造力，我相信这种创造力也是在21世纪建立创新型经济的关键因素。
