The Inventor
Says invites readers to a gathering of history's most
brilliant creative minds, where inventors past and present jostle,
compete, contradict, and compliment each other. Groundbreakers such
as Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Ford, Ada Lovelace,
the Wright Brothers, and Sejong the Great converse with the
twentieth century's most ingenious tinkerers and thinkers, from
Buckminster Fuller, Ruth Handler (creator of the Barbie doll),
Nikola Tesla (who cuts Thomas Edison down to size for his lack of
scientific discipline), and Apple's Steve Wozniak to contemporary
figures like Lisa Seacat DeLuca, IBM's most prolific female
inventor. These intrepid innovators discuss their childhood,
inspirations, working habits, failure as a productive stage in the
creative process, and much more, in a collection that will inspire
readers to hatch a few brilliant ideas of their own. As Edwin Land
advised: "Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly
important and nearly impossible."
