100 Inventions That Shaped World History: Companion To: 100 Events That Shaped World History

This is a nice little book, easily read in one or two sittings, about mostly technological inventions. There are great pictures and/or prints, and clear explanations, even for those who are technologically-challenged. Each invention takes up only one page. Quite suitable for kids ten and up, and adults who want a quick introduction or reference book. I enjoyed it, and passed it on to my unix supervisor son. Some really interesting stuff here.

This book contains inventions from all around the world from microchips to fire. This is a really good book if you are going to do research on inventions.
