National Geographic is known to make publish interesting books with great photographs and this is no exception. The 300 page book is structured in 5 parts:1 - Physical Science2-Life Science3-Medicine4-Planetary Science5-TechnologyEven if a reader has only a few minutes to spare at one time, he/she can learn quite a few interesting things. What I especially like is that they learn about the Why and How. Why was this technological advancement needed, including some brief history in some cases, as well as how it happened. Take the GPS for example. It even mentions the 1980s Korean flight that got shot by the Soviets and the arguments focused on the location. The book describes the current GPS Satellite network, etc. And this is found on just 2 pages of this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exploring the History and the Future of Invention *by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017* This coffee table book from National Geographic is a terrific overview of the history and future of science and technology. It's sectioned into physical science, life science, medicine, planetary science/astronomy, and technology. The paper is luxurious to the touch and the photos and drawings are terrific. These pages are full of eye candy.Each section includes an overview of the particular innovation covered and then developments are listed chronologically. There are excellent descriptions of how basic ideas are developed into bigger and better things; it presents a fascinating journey from origin to future possibilities for each innovation. The author does imply certain things that aren't absolute truths yet, but overall it's a pretty fantastic book. It's the kind of book to leave out for kids to consult. They'll learn things without even knowing it.The information is given in easy-to-swallow chunks but by no means are those chunks light and simple - depending on the subject, I found some concepts strained my brain, but in a good way. As a writer, I'm always looking for books like this - books that will give me basic information on various subjects - historical, current, or future - that come up in my plots, and point me in the right direction if I need more information.All in all, an excellent choice. I think it would make a fantastic gift for a family, or for science fans of nearly any stripe. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/53242282-the-story-of-innovation-how-yesterdays-discoveries-lead-to-tomorrows](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/53242282-the-story-of-innovation-how-yesterdays-discoveries-lead-to-tomorrows) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
