Well fortunately for us, Don Wulffson has always "wanted to know" and has taken the time to research, and compile a fascinating book about the origins of fifty common inventions, many that we use everyday. Find out who invented Post-it Notes, toilet paper, napkins, and the pencil eraser. Or maybe you've always wanted to know how ketchup came about, or hair coloring, deodorant, the toothbrush, or even the vacuum cleaner, and washing machine. Well now you have the opportunity to find out. Each short chaper is written in an easy to read, conversational style, and is chock full of historical information, fun facts, and trivia, including photographs, old advertisements, sidebars, and fact bubbles, to grab your attention, and enhance learning.
