This is a great book filled with colored diagrams, illustrations, and plans of subjects that have changed our world. There is everything from the DNA helix to the iPod and all are in order chronologically. There is text with each picture. Fans of nonfiction and STEM would love this book. Some are really obscure - like an atlas of London, but most are understandably impactful. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I was very pleased to find not only the expected entries by da Vinci and Descartes, but a diagram from my personal hero Ben Franklin for his bifocals. I was surprised to learn that Bacteria was first diagramed by Leeuwenhoek back in 1683. 1683! There are some interesting call-outs like for Ikea's Flat-Pack Furniture (1956) which makes me want to curse when I read it, and even Carl Sagan's Pioneer Placque which shipped out into space in 1972.
My only beef with this book lays in the design itself. Seriously--what is up lately with graphic designers not being able to design for print? Each entry has a couple introductory sentences which are printed in such a light gray as to be unreadable in the evening by a person over their forties. It has to be readable folks! That is the point! ( )
