Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of invention and innovation, exploring the remarkable ingenuity of ordinary individuals throughout history. The author examines the fascinating and often overlooked contributions of countless "unknown thinkers" whose ideas, though sometimes crude and impractical in their time, have laid the groundwork for the technological advancements we enjoy today. The book then uses the life and work of a well-known figure, Abraham Lincoln, as a case study to illustrate this point. Lincoln's early experience as a riverboat captain is analyzed, highlighting his resourcefulness in a moment of crisis and a subsequent invention, a device intended to help vessels avoid becoming grounded. The author highlights the interesting fact that while this invention never gained widespread use, it reveals a fundamental principle that finds application in modern ship salvaging techniques. By comparing Lincoln's invention to modern practices, the book demonstrates the enduring relevance of even seemingly forgotten ideas. The book ultimately shows us that the history of invention is a rich tapestry woven together by the contributions of countless individuals, many of whom have been lost to time. This work underscores the enduring power of human creativity and the potential for even seemingly insignificant ideas to have lasting impact. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282756109_0
