The Illustrated Histories of Everyday Inventions: Discover the True Stories Behind the World's 64 Most Overlooked Innovations

With over 192 illustrations, this introduces readers to the fascinating, humorous, and often forgotten (or overlooked) origin stories behind the most important common inventions!
The Illustrated Histories of Everyday Inventions uncovers the fascinating, humorous, and often unbelievable origins behind the world's most overlooked innovations

Nobody knows the backstories behind our most taken-for-granted inventions, like credit cards, egg cartons, windshield wipers, and breakfast sandwiches But the strange and wonderful origins of these inventions are far from ordinary: They are rooted in forgotten history. Inside this hardcover book, discover the extraordinary true stories of:

the TOASTER -- actually the best thing before sliced bread
the PASSPORT -- the original Facebook
the TOOTHBRUSH -- so much more than bamboo + hog bristles
the PIZZA SAVER -- no pie left behind since 1985
SLICED BREAD -- at first, no one wanted it
and MANY, MANY MORE of history's most influential discoveries

Organized chronologically from 75,000 B.C. to today and illustrated with more than 200 pieces of original artwork, The Illustrated Histories of Everyday Inventions is as beautiful as it is entertaining and informative. Discover who invented BATHING, why some of the first-ever BEDS were naturally mosquito-repellant, how president Theodore Roosevelt's encounter with a black bear inspired the TEDDY BEAR, and why SELFIE STICKS might be older than you think
