What would life be like without cars, television, the Internet and
computers, or the omnipresent smartphone? Setting aside the
question of whether things would be better or worse, what we do
know for sure is that today there are some inventions that we just
can't do without. And yet some of them are very recent, in their
infancy we might say, while others are a little over a century old,
which in any case is but a blip if compared to the history of
humanity. They all have changed the existence of a considerable
number of people, their advent has been such a breakthrough that it
has always marked a "before" and "after". The result of the
brilliant intuition of exceptional men and women, of the
perseverance and tenacity of great entrepreneurs or ingenious ideas
of common people, these inventions have influenced and changed
medicine, society, economics, culture, and history itself. This
book full of curiosities and explanations will guide readers to the
discovery of the most important inventions that have influenced the
contemporary world, from the end of the 19th century to our own
time, revealing the secrets and events that led to their creation
and introducing the exceptional figures who conceived them.
