Inventors and Their Bright Ideas

"You've probably heard of a few inventors.
- Thomas Edison and his light bulb
- George Stephenson and his train
- John Logie Baird and his television
But have you heard that…
- Edison didn't invent the bulb, but he did invent almost everything else
- Stephenson didn't invent the train, but he did spend a lot of time collecting gas in bladders
- Baird's TV 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."
