From Plato it is well known, for over 2360 years, that the necessity is the mother of invention. Then Archimedes, over 2230 years ago, clearly stated: Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world, and There are things which seem incredible to most people who have not studied Mathematics. Starting with the invention of languages, Archimedes' screw, and Heron engine, there are many wonderful discoveries presented here, which help us to understand how we arrived at the current advanced level of technology. Do you remember Huygens, Hertz, Cartwright, Volta, Babbage and Cerf? They, and many others, will be happy to tell you about their inventions. Is there a connection between The Count of Monte Cristo and Chappe's invention? This book will surprise you.Starting from 1943, in a chronological order, we present the invention history, which was commemorated in the last 76 years. There are also many attractive and historic photographs. This book, for the general public, reminds us of the influential innovators who changed our world, and offers a variety of relevant information not only about them, but also about numerous other personalities and important events. The more you read, the more you'll love it!
