| World of Invention |
 |
by Kimberley A. McGrath (Editor), Bridget E. Travers
(Editor) A one-volume reference covering
both well-known and lesser-known inventions and inventors, this fairly
comprehensive work includes information on noteworthy contributions of
inventors from groups that may have been overlooked in the past, namely,
women and minorities. More than 1100 alphabetically arranged entries
describe significant developments from the Industrial Revolution to the
present, focusing not on how things work but on how they came to be. |

Directed toward an audience of high school students and other lay
readers, this book presents concise information in a nontechnical
manner. Other features include extensive cross-referencing to related
entries, a bibliography of sources consulted, and both general and
topical indexes. |
