HOW TO FLY A HORSE The Secret History of Creation, Invention, and Discovery

Ashton narrates his book about creativity in a clear, steady voice. An expansion of his lectures and presentations, the book is a collection of stories about ordinary inventors and inventions that changed the world. Ashton reiterates the notion that creativity happens all the time and is brought forth by ordinary people. From Edmund's hand pollinating vanilla plants to the Wright Brothers' inventing flying machines to Dyson's designing the cyclone vacuum cleaner, Ashton reads clearly and methodically. Each story of creativity unfolds a little at a time until the invention flowers and changes the world. Just as inventions take time to come to fruition, so this audiobook flows slowly, challenging and enlightening listeners. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2015]
