Title : You Had to Think About It! Inventors & Their Inventions - Patrick Meney - Book

Summary :

Here is the dictionary of inventors! They are all here, illustrated with more than 500 photos, documents, plans, and sketches. Nearly 1,000 characters, known or unknown but all brilliant, who have imagined our world over the centuries, from the Egyptians and their first calendar to the computer programmers who are transforming our society. Passionate people who, in small workshops, strive to find new tools. Galileo and Gutenberg themselves were first and foremost just that: tinkerers. Inspired dreamers. They are in this book, alongside many contemporaries who came to present their creations on the set of "Fallait y penser." The entire team of the show participated in this work. Six investigators traveled across various continents to explore the picturesque world of inventors. Two academics delved into history to recount the destinies of the great men who changed our lives. Two journalists specializing in the most spectacular industrial innovations have unearthed the shadowy researchers within major corporations that file hundreds of patents every day. Dive into the practical and magical world of inventions and their creators!
