Following on from the success of 'The Book of Firsts', 'The Book of Inventions and Inventors' celebrates the achievements of some of the most prominent and revolutionary inventions and inventors of the modern era.
From the jet engine to the safety pin, from George Westinghouse to Alexander Graham Bell, and the parking meter to the aerosol can, this is a book packed full of extraordinary facts and information. Barbed wire, the photocopier, radar, air conditioning, the submarine and even the underwater bike are just a few examples of the useful and not so useful inventions that have changed our lives forever.
