Steven Johnson
How did the advent of refrigeration help create the golden age of Hollywood? How did the invention of flash photography help shift public opinion on the plight of New York's poorest inhabitants and bring about social reform? This book shows how time and time again, big ideas coalesce out of smaller, incremental breakthroughs.
