This book describes twelve inventions that transformed the United States from a rural and small-town community to an industrial country of unprecedented power. These inventions demonstrate that no one person is ever responsible for technological advances and that the culture produces a number of people who work together to create each new invention. The book also shows the influences of technology on society and examines the beliefs and attitudes of those who partake in technological advances. The book is both a sociological analysis and a history of technology in the United States in the past two hundred years.

Leonardo nasconde un segreto? In realtà ne nasconde molti, basta cercare nelle pagine dei suoi codici, nelle migliaia di disegni di macchine o di parti di esse che quei codici contengono. Misteri e segreti che in questo libro vengono alla luce nella loro realtà progettuale. Dalle descrizioni e dai disegni dello scienziato, attraverso la rielaborazione digitale riemergono nella loro compiutezza e funzionalità imbarcazioni corazzate, argani e macchinari destinati al volo, alla guerra, al lavoro, alle imprese idrauliche. Un'operazione di ricostruzione virtuale che ha richiesto anni di studi e di applicazione e ha ottenuto il risultato di rendere accessibili le invenzioni nascoste tra le pagine dei codici leonardeschi.
