Travel back in time to discover how brilliant minds shaped our modern world

Who invented the car, the light bulb, or the jeans you're wearing. This engaging journey through time reveals how groundbreaking inventors connect with the technology we use today.

From Johannes Gutenberg's printing press to accidental discoveries in laboratories, the book uncovers remarkable stories behind everyday objects. Did you know the first newspaper was printed in 1605, or that Levi Strauss never wore the jeans he created.

Written by award-winning journalist Anne Ameri-Siemens, whose 2007 book became a Spiegel bestseller and won the Corine International Book Prize. Beautifully illustrated by Becky Thorns, whose detailed artwork brings these historical innovations to life.

This substantial 96-page book is filled with facts to inspire future creators and inventors.

Suitable for children aged 8 years and up.

Dimensions: 20.5 × 26 cm
Pages: 96 pages, full colour, hardcover
