Dear Reader,
Look around you. How many inventions do you see? 5? 10? 15? Every one of those inventions can most likely be traced back to a single one that happened a million years ago in a cave in South Africa… fire! Dylan and I were super excited to collaborate on this beautifully illustrated book Atlas Obscura Explorer's Guide to Inventing the World, which takes readers on a wild STEM-tastic journey around the world, through space and time with many of the inventions that you use every day.
Based on the New York Times bestselling Atlas Obscura Explorer's Guide for the World's Most Adventurous Kid, our book invites you to take a deep dive into not just how things were invented but when. Have you ever wondered how a telescope was invented? The answer lies in what had to be invented before the telescope (like a lens!). These "invention paths" are a new way of considering how inventions are all interconnected.
Get ready to step into an amazing adventure through history and science which may inspire you to dream up an invention of your own. What will YOU invent?
To exploring!
