Making History: Scientists and Inventors
Frida MalmgrenBring history to life! The Making History book series invites you on an exciting and fun journey through the ages. On the way, we make stops during different periods of European history. There we meet inventors, rulers, and thinkers – some well-known and others forgotten. Read about great inventions, ideas, and people who have shaped our world.
In the first book, Making History: Inventors and Scientists, we learn things like: who was the first monarch to sit on a flush toilet? How do you breach a city wall that has kept the enemy out for a thousand years, or build the biggest dome the world has ever seen? And what exactly did Galileo Galilei see in his telescope that so enraged the Pope and his men? Get to know some of the most innovative inventors and scientists of the Renaissance! With knowledge and curiosity, the cartoonist, writer, and psychologist Frida Malmgren sketches portraits of seven of the most famous madcaps of the period. Their great inventions have forever shaped history, and their exciting lives provide insight into the important ideas and events of the time. A richly illustrated, fact-filled, and fun guide to the Renaissance!
