More About the Author
Ed is curious - he wants to see the world and understand how it works. So he travels (a lot) and takes things apart. And, he enjoys putting things together from building robots to writing books.
As a math and physics major, Ed likes numbers. He's traveled to 61 countries on all 7 continents. He has directed 5 museums (including the National Inventors Hall of Fame and founding the National Toy Hall of Fame) and written more than two dozen books.
He holds a Ph.D. in oceanography and has participated in 20 some expeditions, including doing research on sea ice in Antarctica. With his wife, he has sailed across the Pacific Ocean and has done a circumnavigation teaching oceanography for Semester at Sea. Ed is a Fellow Emeritus in The Explorers Club.
An avid outdoors person, Ed runs, bikes, swims, kayaks, and SCUBA dives. Along the way he searches for the unusual gizmo to take apart or at least figure out how it works.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for kids and adults,
By A Customer
This review is from: 21357 INVENTING STUFF (DALE SEYMOUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT) (Paperback)
I have used this book in my college courses with great success. But my 10 year old loves it as well. Creativity and invention are stripped of its academic jargon and presented as a road to discovery. Learning by doing and the books activities inspire one to view all "stuff" in the world as potential tools for inventing.
