Based on a popular column in MAKE magazine, this book concentrates more on the people who make things, than the things themselves. For those not familiar with MAKE, it is concerned with hobbyist projects, preferably electronic, preferably based on junk and scrap. Best of all, the magazine loves oddball projects. Ninety-one of the best of these off-the-wall inventors are featured here. From people who build almost full-scale submarines, to automated cocktail dispensers, to necktie tying machines, to a paper steam engine, to a pedal powered canoe. Lots of robots are included. OK, it's fun. Is it important? Yes, possibly it is. Creativity is always needed, and any exploration of what inspires it can be useful. (And the gadgets themselves might be inspiring, as well.) copyright Robert M.
