Review
"An exciting exploration of linkages between technology and creativity, an exploration that is alternately punctuated by deep insights and broad visions."--Robert J. Weber, School of Law, University of New Mexico, author of Forks, Phonographs, and Hot Air Balloons and editor of Inventive Minds: Creativity in Technology."From case studies in mechanical, civil, aeronautical, and electronic engineering, beginning with the primitive atmospheric steam engine of 1712, Professor Dasgupta has traced the key personal--as opposed to economic and social--factors in invention. His book is as readable as it is authoritative."--Donald Cardwell, History of Science & Technology Group, Department of Physics, UMIST
