About this title

From the Publisher:

Unbelievable!
This is one of the neatest books around! I say this not as staff at Dennis Karwatka's publisher, but as someone who enjoys reading.

Dennis covers 78 American inventors and their inventions in "Technology's Past" from a very unique perspective. Each inventor/invention is given three pages, (pictures galore!), making this an easy-to-read book. Tons of information is presented in each chapter, told by someone who truly enjoys the subject matter!

An excellent reference! Enjoyable reading for ANYONE, from young students on up. We are selling this book to both public and school libraries, individuals, history departments, and technologists. It's even at the Smithsonian American History Museum!

I only wish this book had been around when I was in school....
