Who invented the game of hockey, radio, Trivial Pursuit, basketball, the snowmobile, the pacemaker, the V-chip, the electric stove, kerosene, fibre optics, giant pumpkins, the electronic synthesizer, insulin, Standard Time, conductive concrete, Java software, canola, the cobalt bomb, and the internal implantable human heart? Canadians, of course!
In this new book by inventor Roy Mayer, some of these inventions and their inventors (and many more) are profiled. In each case Mayer goes to the source itself, the inventor, or, if the inventor is deceased, those who knew him or her. Through the author we meet, among others, Michael Cowpland, the multimillionaire Ottawa found of Corel Corporation; Tim Collings, the Simon Fraser University inventor of the V-chip; Maurice Moloney, the Calgary innovator who has done amazing things with bloodsucker genes and canola; Howard Dill, the Nova Scotia farmer who developed seeds that grow the world’s biggest pumpkins; and Quebec’s Reginald Fessenden, the real inventor of radio and television.
Proving once and for all that Canadians are amazingly innovative, “Inventing Canada” revises Thomas Edison’s famous adage and demonstrates that invention is fun as well as nine-tenths perspiration and one-tenth inspiration.
