In Eureka! the author hopes to introduce students to some of the most inventive minds in history; people who have pushed the boundaries of engineering and technology to make the world a better and more connected place. Starting with Archimedes and finishing with Tim Berners-Lee, the reader will go on a journey of discovery and learn more about the life of each person, as well as details of their greatest achievements. A wide range of technical vocabulary is featured, and each unit has a Think about it section, where students use this vocabulary to recreate inventions and ideas in diagram form. From the steam engine and light bulb to wireless technology and the computer, Eureka! will help to open the door to an amazing world of technology and invention.
