  A look at the lives and influences behind those men and women whose work has led to advances in technology, industry and medicine. This book includes some of the inventions which have changed and influenced both society and people's lives, such as the telephone, the steam engine, the printing press and the long distance rocket. It also includes some inventions which, although they made less impact, have become an integral part of society: the typewriter, the biro and the bra. The book also looks at the lives of the inventors, giving biographical details and also examining how and why they came to make their discoveries.
