Inhaltsangabe

Journal of Discovery is a unique collection of exquisite pop-ups and illustrations that celebrates these intellectual pioneers--Copernicus, Edison, Gutenberg, Watt, the Lumière brothers, Marconi, and Bell--and their awe-inspiring works. Readers will learn about the Lumière brothers, who made the first motion picture, and Guglielmo Marconi, who developed the first radio telegraph picture. They’ll find out how James Watt perfected the steam engine and how Johannes Gutenberg developed his innovative method of printing. They’ll learn how these ideas were received in the past, and how they continue to influence our present--and our future.
