Synopsis:

What do the Hubble Telescope, Buffalo Bill and the Spanish Inquisition have in common, and how is the answer found in a fast food chain? Continuing the journey he began in "The Pinball Effect", James Burke shows how unrelated ideas and innovations bounce off each other, spinning a web of knowledge.

About the Author: James Burke's books include the bestselling Connections and The Day the Universe Changed. He contributes a monthly column to Scientific American and serves as director, writer and host of the television series Connections 3, which airs on the Learning Channel. He lives in England, France and airplanes.
