Synopsis
The art of inventing is two-fold. To be successful, inventors must be truly innovative and know how to turn a worthy invention into a welcome product. This book teaches how to achieve both of these goals, one a matter of developing talent, the other a matter of learning about the legal and commercial aspects of the trade. Both philosophical and practical, Crackpot or Genius? shares enlightening anecdotes and profiles famous and not-so-famous inventors as it discusses the process of inventing.
Includes basic physics, creativity, serendipity and perseverance, liability, how to raise an inventive child, amazing toy inventions, inventor groups, how to set up a workshop, how to keep a notebook, patents, selling an invention, and invention contracts.
