In How Invention Begins, Lienhard reconciles the ends of invention with the individual leaps upon which they are built, illuminating the vast web of individual inspirations that lie behind whole technologies. He traces, for instance, the way in which thousands of people applied their combined inventive genius to airplanes, railroad engines, and automobiles. As he does so, it becomes clear that a collective desire, an upwelling of fascination, a spirit of the times--a Zeitgeist--laid its hold upon inventors. The thing they all sought to create was speed itself. Likewise, Lienhard shows that when we trace the astonishingly complex technology of printing books, we come at last to that which we desire from books--the knowledge, the learning, that they provide. Can we speak of speed or education as inventions? To do so, he concludes, is certainly no greater a stretch than it is to call radio or the telephone an "invention." Throughout this marvelous volume, Lienhard illuminates these webs of insight or inspiration by weaving a fabric of anecdote, history, and technical detail--all of which come together to provide a full and satisfying portrait of the true nature of invention.

If your mind is always percolating with ideas about better ways to do things, then you might just be an inventor, like Alvin Sacks. In this book, Dr. Sacks draws upon a lifetime of remarkable experiences to show you how to make your ideas a reality--and have lots of fun in the process. Dr. Sacks has personally invented, patented, negotiated, licensed and consulted on numerous inventions, including his unique device to measure blood pressure, without electronics, or special training.Following graduation from Cornell, Dr. Sacks embarked upon a 50-year career in engineering research, as he and his wife of 68 years raised their family of four in Silicon Valley. Early on he realized that a formal education is not nearly as important to inventing as the innate curiosity and drive to create something new and useful.Today, at age 96, Dr. Sacks has never stopped inventing or encouraging others to put their ideas to work.
