Popular science. Big book of discoveries and inventions

All the things that surround us were once invented by someone. The elevator, a watch, chewing gum, an encryption machine, potato chips, a social network, a printing press and a single -wheel bicycle - all this is not just “gifts of civilization”, but the result of the work of many wonderful people. You will learn about all the large and small discoveries and their creators from this book. The author was not too lazy and even included in the book, no less interesting for the reader, crazy and stupid inventions, as well as stories about eccentric geniuses.
