13) Strange Angel: The Otherworldly Life Of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons (Qty: 38)
George Pendle

Harcourt. 12/01/2004. 350 pgs. Proof that you don't necessarily need a degree--or even to be completely sane--to be a rocket scientist, Pasadena-born John Whiteside Parsons dropped out of college soon after his passion for experimenting with rocket propulsion, driven by a youthful obsession with science fiction magazines, led to one unauthorized explosion too many. He became a largely self-taught chemical and explosives expert, eventually joining the team at CalTech that in the 1940s developed the first solid rocket fuel, a crucial component in jet propulsion and space travel. However, there was another side to Parsons--he believed himself to be the Antichrist. Deeply involved with black magic, he was a member of the same Aleister Crowley cult that led L. Ron Hubbard to develop his science fiction-based religion of Scientology. Eventually largely disowned by an industry whose increasingly corporate structure had no time for a maverick genius, spawn of Satan or not, Parsons died in an explosion while experimenting with chemicals in the mid-'50s. British science journalist George Pendle's fascinating biography of one of the unsung heroes of modern rocket science reconciles the two seemingly opposing sides of Parsons' character in a compelling blend of science and necromancy, with a dose of unbridled human imagination thrown in.
