This book was great. It teaches you general knowledge and how all the inventions you see and use everyday work and were invented. The technical language mixed with the engaging format made this book super fun and interesting to read. Recommend if you want to understand history and inventions.

Great source of simple facts
Enjoyed just letting simple technical facts roll over me. Contained many “I knew that already. Or did I?” moments. Worth reading.
