Great book for inventors!

I'm a long time inventor and product developer. This book presents new ideas on how to be a creative inventor, and that is a wonderful thing when you're trying to develop the simplest, cheapest solution to a problem. We can never have too many aids to stimulate our thinking!

MUST read for innovative engineers

And Suddenly the Inventor Appeared- it is exceptionally good book for reading & practicing. It can be read by a curious person of any age. written in so simple way that it can be read as a story book. This book imparts total new vision about creative problem solving by TRIZ methods. though this is an introductory book, it has great potential to stimulate thinking process for technical problem solving. 100% recomended for a person trying to learn TRIZ techniques for Engineering problem solving

The 'must' first TRIZ book to read

TRIZ is not a simple method although it is a very powerful thinking tool yet to be defeated in the technical problem solving arena. This book is a piece of Masterity on how to easily and with entertainment explain the basics of TRIZ. Any person, notonly engineers, wanting to know what TRIZ can do, should pass a very good time reading the book. For the younger, this book will let an influence for searching exploring and solving! problems. Translated also into spanish, the book is a best selling all over the world.

Best TRIZ introduction available.

This is the best introduction to TRIZ available. H.Altov (G.Altshuller) explain many aspects of TRIZ, but don't expect to become a TRIZ master with only this lecture. I recommend this book for those TRIZ is a new subject. Engineers! It's a must have!

Perfect for pupils

This book, written by Altshuller (the creator of TRIZ) under a pseudonym, is aimed at secondary school students and while not rigorous in its development, provides an entertaining look at how the methods of TRIZ can be applied to a variety of problems. Semyon D. Savransky, Ph.D. (TRIZnik)
