They Made America: Two Centuries of Innovators

They Made America: From the Steam Engine to the Seach Engine: Two Centuries of Innovators
Harold Evans's unique, popular history of science and technology in America--or scientists and technologists--focuses on the parade of creative, innovative, and energetic promoters of new things that actually changed the country. The big boys are there: Fulton, Ford, and Edison; but next to them are Levi-Straus who invented blue jeans; Ruth Handler who created Barbie; and Joan Ganz Cooney, the founder of Sesame Street. Evans takes us from the 19th-century steamboat to the 21st-century world of Google. THEY MADE AMERICA, strong on graphics and sidebars, presents a view of America as a blessed wellspring of creativity--and as a cauldron of hot activity in the pursuit of progress.
