They teach us a great deal about creativity and scientific principles; and, of course, the power of invention is of utmost importance in today's world of technology and innovation. Focusing on the 100 most significant scientific inventions of all time, this ready reference presents young readers fascinating facts about amazing inventions, a panoramic overview of the history of science, an introduction to some of the most important inventors in history, and a collection of engaging reads." "More than two millennia's worth of inventions are covered, ranging from the practical (clocks, eyeglasses) to the everyday (measuring spoons, ballpoint pens), the life-saving (antiseptic, chemotherapy), and the simply mind-boggling (the number zero, cloning). Each entry, arranged chronologically according to when the invention was made, explains what the invention is, who the inventor was, and how the invention was created. It also provides the historical context of the invention, its significance today, and information on resources for further reading/research."--BOOK JACKET.
