About this product

Product Information

Each of the 5000 inventions in this encyclopaedia is covered by a short article that answers four basic questions: who, when, where, why? The book is organized in 14 sections so that the reader can easily locate the subjects that interest him, be they transport or industry, ecology or everyday life, computing or space, the arts or weaponry. There is also a section for eccentric and amusing inventions such as the inflatable plant, the smoke-free cigarette, the solar-powered bike and scuba-diving equipment for dogs. Valerie-Anne Giscard has compiled The Book of Inventions and Discoveries every year since 1983. She is the daughter of the former president of France.
