Paley, Steven J.

In this entertaining and insightful exploration of the process of invention, an experienced inventor vividly illustrates how great inventions embody three crucial characteristics–simplicity, elegance, and robustness.

 

Whether you’re an aspiring inventor or an experienced designer, the author’s expertise, personal examples, and case studies offer detailed guidance on conceptualizing your ideas and turning them into reality. The author shows how ideas can come from a variety of sources such as the natural world, basic physical principles, life experience, or even chance observations. He examines how intuition and the harnessing of subconscious information are key ingredients for the inventive process.

 

“Paley writes in an engaging and easy to read style about the creative process and about how to get from needs and raw ideas to finished products. It’s chock-full of engaging stories.” — reviewed by David E. Sarna.
