About this product
Product Information
What would the world be like without the phone, the fax or television? How would it have developed without effective steam power or the oil industry? Could you survive without penicillin or antiseptic surgery? d? There is no simple answer. SCOTTISH FIRSTS, originally produced From Napier's bones to Dolly the sheep, Scottish Firsts celebrates the remarkable achievements of a small country whose influence has helped to shape the modern world. It tells the engrossing stories of Scotland's heroes from William Murdoch, inventor of gas lighting, who went to his first job interview wearing a wooden top hat, to Ian Donald, whose prototype of the pregnancy scanner included a contraceptive sheath. Scottish Firsts also explores some of the lesser-known achievements of Scots both at home and abroad, from the Buick car to the Thomson steamer; the first branded fruit cordial to the ConaT coffee percolator. It lists everything from sporting firsts to some of the world's most extreme environments that have been named after Scots. This absorbing compendium of facts is an essential reference companion as well as an intriguing read for proud Scots everywhere.Product Identifiers
