Everything You Need to Know about Inventions. by Michael Heatley and Colin Slater - Softcover
From the invention of the wheel to the World Wide Web, this book lives up to its promise. In these pages you'll find everything you need to know (and more) about this fascinating subject. Offering a comprehensive overview of man's greatest achievements, this book covers all of the major breakthroughs in the worlds of science and technology. As well as the groundbreaking inventions, you'll also discover a few of the more quirky creations that have had a surprising impact on our day-to-day lives. Along the way you'll find out who first wore spectacles, when the first newspaper was printed, who took the first photograph, when the first phone call was made, who drove the first car, who sent the first email and when the first song was downloaded. Besides covering everything you need to know, this book is packed with visually stimulating and easy-to-remember illustrations, bar graphs, pie charts, timelines and diagrams.
