Forks, Phonographs, and Hot Air Balloons : a Field Guide to Inventive Thinking.

Drawing on hundreds of examples, this study of human ingenuity argues that all inventions are the result of the same basic principles rather than random inspiration. The author, a cognitive psychologist, reveals the mind's capacity for problem-solving from the Stone Age to the present day.
