Inventions is a book that consists of mechanical drawings ('blueprints') of most, if not all, of his inventions as well as the story of how he came up with their idea. It's the best way to get an accurate idea of each invention and how they relate to Bucky's core ideas of life and the universe. A fascinating picture book of his genius, very well laid out and something you will read over and over again. I must have read it 6 or 8 times over two weeks of having a copy from the library (which was stolen later on!). If you are visual in your learning style than you must have this book.
Powell's City of Books is an independent bookstore in Portland, Oregon, that fills a whole city block with more than a million new, used, and
out of print books. Shop those shelves — plus literally millions more books, DVDs, and eBooks — here at Powells.com.
