This stunning visual guide explores and explains the greatest inventions, ideas and discoveries throughout the ages, and introduces their inventors. Discover the first inventions, from fire, stone tools and the wheel to ploughs and paper, that shaped societies and grew mighty civilisations and empires such as those in ancient Greece, ancient Rome and ancient China. In the centuries that followed, 'Eureka' moments abounded, with James Watt's steam engine during the Industrial Revolution, Henry Ford's car assembly line at the start of the 20th century, the Wright brothers' flying machines, Thomas Edison's light bulb, John Logie Baird's television and so much more.
