Natural Sciences
Nails, wheels, springs, magnets, lenses, strings, pumps. These are simple principles, but they are essential to the development of our history, producing great power and enabling long distances. In addition, they are used in artificial hearts and space suits, and they are also indispensable to cutting-edge technology. These seven "small and great" inventions and their applications are vividly spelled out by a female engineer. Many illustrations are included. "This very attractive book contains a very deep message. It is how many technologies are born from skillful repetition of very small engineering innovations." Philippe Ball (『 Katagata 』 『 Nagaru 』) "Every page is filled with a passion for engineering. Lawal Roma Ag has a special skill to understand how the constructed world works and to make us dream again of creating' machines for ourselves.'" Angela Sainy (』 Fights against Discrimination against Women in 『 Science) "He writes an attractive story about the seemingly unsophisticated devices that drive our world with excitement and passion for details that are unique to engineers."
