Description
Tracks the links between technological invention, social history, economics, and everything. Revolutions: Explains how the steam engine led to safety matches, imitation diamonds and the moon in a wild ride. Sentimental journeys: Asks what Freud has got to do with maps, prison reform with blue dye, the inside of a star with the Himalayas, and India reveals the answers. Getting it together: Begins by examining a SWAT team, which leads to hot air ballooning, the root of many inventions. Whodunit?: Questions who stole a set of billiard balls in 1902 and why was he the most famous crook in history? The clues: maps from 1775, Charles Darwin's cousin and the FBI.
Description
"The big spin: The greatest medical accident in history starts a trail that leads to Helen of Troy, 17th century flower-power, the invention of soda pop and earthquake detection. Bright ideas: A Baltimore man invented the bottle, which led to razors, clock springs, and the Hubbell telescope. Making waves: Hairdressers, Gold Rush miners, Irish potato farmers and English parliamentarians are really tied together. Routes: A sick lawyer in 18th century France changes farming and triggers the French Revolution and new medical research."--Container.
