SUMMARY
Creative genius is the essence of the Kiwi character and recognised around the world. Tony Williams has drawn together more than a hundred examples of Kiwi ingenuity over the past 150 years across a range of industries, from shed mechanics like Burt Munro and John Britten, to those who used overseas resources to win Nobel Prizes such as Ernest Rutherford and Alan McDiarmid, as well as those who have earned international success like Peter Jackson and Jean Batten. Follow the inventive process and learn the true story of how - lacking resources and facing overwhelming difficulties - Kiwi ingenuity has pioneered global solutions in engineering, aviation, medicine, anthropology, marine biology, artillery, computer technology, agriculture, film making, education, social reform and more.Williams, Tony is the author of '101 Ingenious Kiwis', published 2006 under ISBN 9780790011103 and ISBN 0790011107.
