Description
Smartphones, skyscrapers, spacecraft - the modern world is full of complex technologies. But beneath the surface, it can be surprisingly simple. Roma Agrawal explores the fascinating story of how everyday objects have evolved over time, from handmade Roman nails to the humble lens that helped her conceive a child. By tracing the journeys of seven fundamental objects - the nail, spring, wheel, lens, magnet, string and pump - Agrawal reveals the hidden building blocks of our modern world.
