' ... a very personal book, unclassifiable, unscholarly, but unfailingly interesting.' Times Higher Education Supplement

"...a synthesis of over forty years of experience given to us by a man who has been an inventor and an engineer since the end of the Second World War... Laithwaite writes with facility and enthusiasm, intertwining his insights from several disciplines to make his case...written with wit and beauty and originality..." Tom Carpenter, Wilson Library Bulletin

"His storytelling skills, honed during many years of popular lecturing from which this book is distilled, are now in very good order....The result is a very personal book, unclassifiable, unscholarly, but unfailingly interesting." Jon Turney, Times Higher Education Supplement
