Inventions by Peter Turvey

Featuring color diagrams, reconstructions, and cutaways, this beautifully illustrated series from internationally acclaimed designer and creator, David Salariya, presents a survey of historical topics from their beginnings to the present. Each book traces the development of a theme over time while examining the historic conditions and the needs, skills, and technology of the people living at each stage of the process. In addition to an illustrated timeline, each book includes a glossary and an index.
