The haunts of the heroes of
science and engineering can be found all over Britain. With the help of Paul
Bader, Adam Hart-Davis has leapt from his fluorescent pink mountain bike to
translate his hugely entertaining television series into 53 fascinating tales of
historic inventiveness, spiced with a host of homely details. The Local
Heroes Book of British Ingenuity is beautifully illustrated and a joy to read.
Published by Sutton, £12.99, ISBN 0750914734.
