bailedI really wanted to like this book, but alas, I just couldn‘t finish it. The author‘s writing was rather dry, and went into a lot of tangential philosophical writings. I gave up to read more interesting books.
pickGreat read about inventions that everyday people have made! I‘ve ordered a copy through eBay!

pickGreat children‘s book about absurd patents. I personally am not sure if any of them were ever made.
pickGreat read about everyday inventions & how they came about!
pick"Of the more than 5 million U.S. #patents that have been granted since 1790, only about 5 percent have a women‘s name on them. Men often took credit for women‘s #inventions, sometimes at the behest of women of color who feared that white consumers wouldn‘t want to purchase their items."
Great book, only disappointed that the author felt the need to point many of these womens sexual preferences. Who cares if they preferred men, women or both?
