The Evolution of Useful Things by Henry Petroski 1993 Hardcover FREE POSTAGE

Description: The Evolution of Useful Things How Everyday Artifacts-From Forks and Pins to Paper Clips and Zippers-Came to be as They areIn this delightful book Henry, Petroski takes a microscopic look at artifacts that most of us count on but rarely contemplate, including such icons of the everyday as pins, Post-its, and fast-food "clamshell" containers. At the same time, he offers a convincing new theory of technological innovation as a response to the perceived failures of existing products—suggesting that irritation, and not necessity, is the mother of invention.
