## Description

Innovation shapes almost every aspect of our lives – from tools and technologies to fresh approaches in art and architecture – yet we rarely notice it. In this book Andrew Leigh tells the story of human innovation – hotbeds of creativity, the forces that suppress them and unexpected ways ideas travel across border and disciplines.
