Customer Reviews

Nice little book

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 is a great book.

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.
