How did cavemen see to draw on the walls? What constituted a practical joke in ancient Greece? What’s the most efficient way to wring juice from a grape? What does a nun have to do with fishing tackle?
These questions and many more are answered in this book, the first in a three-volume set that looks at the people, history, and inventions that have shaped human culture throughout the millennia.
Drawn from the author’s collected columns in Make: magazine, the ReMaking History series begins in Volume 1 by taking a closer look at DIY science efforts beginning at the dawn of civilization and stretching forward to the 18th century.
Perfect for readers ages 11 and up, this book not only lets you learn about history and science through stories, but actually has you touch the past by recreating some of its greatest inventions.
