'Inventology may be a real science; researchers are beginning to study it, and teachers are teaching it. Some 21st-century creations (crowdfunding, 3D printing) are breaking down barriers between new ideas and a useful product, so a golden age of innovation seems in the offing. A delightful account of how inventors do what they do.' -- Kirkus Reviews
