For my history buff

My son is 14 and loves social studies and science. He is fascinated by inventors and inventions of all sorts - he's wanting to develop his own inventions some day. He spent hours going through this book the other day. I don't think I could have found a better book for my son. I'm very, very pleased - and so is he, of course!
