Farman the Master

When I first picked up a John Farman book in a bookstore in London, I was hooked from the beginning. Mr. Farman makes history fun for kids and adults alike. In this book, he explores the history of technology from the Greeks to the present day. This funny and informational book is one of his finest works of literature.
