Customer Reviews

The author of this book is actually Harry L. Robin. Daniel Kelvis wrote the forward. Mr. Robin spent a lifetime of gathering scientific drawings, and often built models of original schematics demonstrating things like perpetual motion and moving pictures from stills. This is a fantastic coffee table book not only for scientists, but for any who enjoy elegant simplicity.
