About this listen

This war was not merely a time of destruction; it sparked a wave of creativity and innovation that transformed the world. It challenged individuals to think beyond the ordinary, enhancing their inventive skills. As a result, we now benefit from a wealth of new ideas and technologies. From lessons in thrift and efficiency to the importance of standardization, industries have evolved, and entrepreneurs recognize the value of scientific inquiry. While the full narrative of these advancements is far too expansive for just one book, I have carefully curated and explained the most significant and fascinating inventions in straightforward language, making it accessible for those without a technical background. - David Wales, former editor of Scientific American magazine.Copyright Plays and Dramas Science Social Sciences World
