The favorite of students and educators everywhere, James Burke the "scientific detective" is back tracking the fascinating links between technological invention, social history, economics, and, well, everything. As the Sherlock Holmes of science, Burke tracks through 12,000 years of history for the clues that lead us to great life changing inventions-the atom bomb, telecommunications, the computer, jet aircraft, plastics, and television. This interdisciplinary approach has never before been applied to history or science and it succeeds tremendously.
