About this product

Product Information

You've probably heard of a few inventors and their bright ideas: Alexander Graham Bell and his telephone, George Stevenson and his Rocket (which was really a train), John Logie Baird and his television... But have you heard that Bell didn't invent the phone, but he did make a weird machine out of hay and a human ear; that Stevenson didn't invent the train, but he did spend a lot of time collecting gas in bladders; and that Baird's telly was useless, and so were his thermostatic socks? Yes, even though they're dead, inventors are still full of surprises - and the ten in this book are more surprising than most. Now you can get the inside story from their long lost notebooks, read the ground-breaking news stories as their inventions hit the headlines, and find out all about the bright ideas that changed the world.
