| 书目名称 | How James Watt Invented the Copier | | 副标题 | Forgotten Inventions | | 编辑 | René Schils | | 视频video | | | 概述 | Reveals the forgotten but magnificent and ingenious inventions of the greatest scientists of the past centuries.Presents the discoveries of famous scientists for which they are actually not known.Prov | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | Features 25 different scientists and the ideas which may not have made them famous, but made history….Typically, we remember our greatest scientists from one single invention, one new formula or one incredible breakthrough. This narrow perspective does not give justice to the versatility of many scientists who also earned a reputation in other areas of science. James Watt, for instance, is known for inventing the steam engine, yet most people do not know that he also invented the copier. Alexander Graham Bell of course invented the telephone, but only few know that he invented artificial breathing equipment, a prototype of the ‘iron lung’. Edmond Halley, whose name is associated with the comet that visits Earth every 75 years, produced the first mortality tables, used for life insurances. This entertaining book is aimed at anyone who enjoys reading about inventions and discoveries by the most creative minds. Detailed illustrations of the forgotten designs and ideas enrich the work throughout. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | | 关键词 | Darwin earthworms; Einstein refrigerator; Franklin gulfstream; Kepler snowflakes; famous scientists; famo | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-0860-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4614-0859-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-0860-4 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 |
