Book Count: 20
This book is on America's history of tinkering, how it changed history and modern tinkering. It deals both with physical tinkering and non-physical tinkering. It does this by telling the story of many different people, groups and products connected to tinkering. Some things it covers include Edison (although it is light in pointing out what a jerk he was,) the PARC corporation, MP3s, derivatives, Angry Birds, Ben Franklin, and Segways.
