Brilliant Ideas - From the Wheel to the IPod (Paperback)

We owe a lot to innovation and technology, but how many of us know how the miracles of the modern world came to be? Brilliant Ideas is about the people and history behind some of the great ideas. There are stories of the geniuses who create inventions and the ripple effects those inventions have had on our way of life. It's about the price the inventors pay in their personal and professional lives to bring us the fruits of their rare triumphs and their frequent failures.
