An Inspiration

While this book is certainly not for "everyone", it can be a source of inspiration to the young person who has an interest in science that includes mechanics, electronics, and a wide range of other technical and scientific fields. It's also a wonderful means of remembering history, provided you were alive to experience some of the events included in the book. I'd recommend it for any library or as a coffee table book to share with family and friends.
