Gavin Weightman - "In Praise of Amateur Inventors"
£4.00
Saturday 12th May at 3.00pm
Deanway United Reform Church HP8 4JL
Journalist, documentary film maker and author, Gavin Weightman, author of Eureka: how invention happens (Yale), reveals the ancient discoveries which, in time, made possible five twentieth century inventions: the aeroplane, television, the bar code, the personal computer and the mobile phone; and he explains why the inventor who finally makes a dream a reality is invariably an amateur or an outsider.
