10 Inventors Who Changed the World by Clive Gifford, illustrated by David Cousens

From chapters.ca:
Science is not created in a vacuum, and no scientist creates an invention without influences from the past and an impact on the future. In this look at 10 discoverers, beginning with Archimedes of Greece and ending with Sergey Korolyev, each scientist's biography is linked with another based on influences, events, and geography. By uncovering these unique and often overlooked connections, science history emerges as a chain of pattern and relationships, and readers will understand how these ten inventors shaped the course of human civilization.
