Serendipitous Findings and Remarkable Flukes: The Experimentation and Discovery Process of Inventions

By: Scaglia, Beatriz

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Inventions are something new in a field. Sometimes they are new items for new uses, other times they are redesigned items for same or secondary uses.

Regardless, the process by which inventors arrive at their creations can vary from the scientifically details to the serendipitous fluke. This book explores experimenting, creativity, play, and discovery. Also included are a timeline of the most important inventions of all time.
