Manmade

A One-of-a-Kind Dictionary Celebrating Men's Many Vital Contributions to Everyday Society.

In his remarkable and invaluable book, Manmade: Male Inventors Who Created the Modern World, the long suppressed history of men and their countless vital contributions to everyday life has been exhumed, revitalized, and brought back to life by bestselling author and award-winning historian Lochlainn Seabrook. This refreshing information-packed dictionary offers a vivid reminder of the vital role male inventiveness plays in all areas of human life, for it virtually created-and continues to maintain and sustain-every aspect of 21st-century society as we know it.

Years in the making, Mr. Seabrook's in-depth salute to the naturally inventive male contains some 1,300 entries of gentlemen inventors, discoverers, and founders, along with their many world-altering innovations, covering the entire span of human history and nearly every known technological field and industry: from automotive and medical, to space and appliances; from mathematics and electrical, to computers and weaponry; from textiles and farming, to art and science; from entertainment and fashion, to cooking and food; from travel and the military, to education and health. His inventors, both ancient and modern, come from every walk of life and all nationalities, races, and religions, with inventions that range from the humble paperclip and the electric toothbrush to space telescopes and nuclear energy-and just about everything in between.

Each entry incorporates the inventor's full name, birth and death dates, occupations, and a list of his inventions with descriptions. Along with traditional innovators of global fame, Mr. Seabrook has also included many lesser known inventors, as well as a number of men whose "controversial" inventions have been suppressed, often by anonymous forces, and for mysterious reasons, still unknown.

Additionally, the author provides hundreds of illustrations, an exhaustive and detailed 87 page index, a comprehensive bibliography, copious endnotes, helpful notes to the reader, and a 21 page introduction discussing men and their inventions. This eye-opening, male-positive, evidence-based reference book will not only forever alter the way you view men, it will prompt an entirely new appreciation and perception of the manmade world in which you live; a world in which 99.99 percent of everything you use everyday was created by men. Manmade: Male Inventors Who Created the Modern World is available in paperback and hardcover. (All text copyright © Sea Raven Press.)
