review 1: This book is an informative one which goes from the beginning of human history and has inventions which changed either how we viewed/ interacted with one another or the world. The book goes in depth into many inventions some which you never would have had much of an impact such as the artificially made toothbrush bristle. It was not until reading this book that I realized that if it wasn't for this invention we still may be using sticks or boar bristles for dental hygiene. I gave this book five stars because I have always been interested in creating new things and this book just delves into the history of some of the most influential inventions which I enjoy very much. Another reason why this book deserves five stars is the way which it was written is quite good and it sh... moreows itself as a linear timeline in history but in actuality it goes back and connects ideas and inventions which each other throughout history. I recommend this book if you want to try something new, enjoy informative books, or just want to learn something new.
review 2: This book is heavy... literally. Not one to carry around for a quick read (it must weigh 5 lbs!) - but the graphic design and structure of the content is meant for just that. The entries succinctly describe human inventions in an historical timeline from prehistory to the present - it is fascinating, with many surprises (when do you think toothpaste was invented?) All the inventions cited here are significant in resolving some aspect of human need, usually the most enduring ones are elegantly simple. Overall this book provides great food for thought about individual creativity, and how our history and culture build and change over time. less
