About this product
Product Information
Inventors and Inventions provides an encyclopedic survey of the history of inventing. The book begins by looking at inventions throughout history, covering everything from the wheel and Archimedes Screw to the Dual-Cyclone Vacuum cleaner and the ipod. The development of each invention is thoroughly detailed, showing how and why the inventions were created. As well as featuring the most well-known inventors throughout history, Inventors and Inventions also profiles often over-looked inventors, giving them their rightful place amongst the celebrated minds from our past. The book includes profiles of inventors, which put each invention in context, exploring the origins of the invention, and the effect it has on our lives today. The book also considers the introduction of patents and the controversies regarding attribution, such as the stories of contest behind the light bulb, television and the windsurfer. With chapters on Computers, Entertainment, Design, Medicine, Warfare, Sports, and Transportation, amongst others, Inventors and Inventions covers every important technological category. The book profiles the great minds that have shaped the world as it is today, featuring renowned inventors, such as: Mary Anderson (windscreen wipers); Luther Burban (Idaho potato); Clarence Birdseye (frozen food); Katherine Blodgett (non-reflecting glass); Louise Braille (Braille printing); John Moses Browning (automatic pistol); Willis Carrier (air conditioning); Josephine Cochran (dishwasher); Martin Coope (cellphone); Walt Disney (multi-plane camera); James Dyson (Dual-Cyclone vacuum cleaner); Thomas Edison (light bulb); Leonardo da Vinci (ornithopter). Inventors and Inventions is a beautiful and engaging book sure to delight readers of all ages and is the perfect gift for anyone with a thirst for knowledge. ILLUSTRATIONS 400 colour & b/w *

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
