Description

How do you sum up the world's amazing inventions in just 100 words? This striking book takes on the challenge!

Basically, everything you need to know in a nutshell.

Along with some expected inventions, such as trains and the Internet, you'll also discover less predictable inventions that will give you a fresh perspective. With balloons and submarines, you can explore the risks some inventors had to take. Through paper and pencil, imagine how such seemingly simple objects would have been groundbreaking at the time of invention; whereas some inventions, such as skates, had a very funny beginning!

With a clean, contemporary design, each word occupies a page of its own. A large striking illustration neatly encapsulates the accompanying 100 words of text.
