Description
The inventions of the early to mid-1900s dramatically changed life around the world. One of the most influential inventions was the automobile, and Henry Ford was a pioneer of car design and factory production. Ford’s innovations not only changed transportation, they changed society. Walt Disney also influenced society through his animated films that are loved around the world and across the decades. This time period in which Ford and Disney worked includes the Wright brothers, R. Buckminster Fuller, and many others whose names are less familiar than their inventions. Readers will be fascinated by detailed profiles of these influential inventors.

Sharon B, Reviewer
Thank you to Net Galley and Rosen Publishing Group for the chance to read and review this book. All opinions are my own.
This is a short book with an overview of some of the great men inventors of this time period. Each little section focuses on a new inventor. It is written at a beginner level, with just basic information. I knew some of the inventors, but I did go on Google to explore some of the inventors that were new to me. I would have liked to see some information about some of the women who were working on scientific breakthroughs at this time, but maybe that is for another book. A good book if you are just starting to learn about some of the major inventions of this time.
