The typical military history presents a chronicle of battles and wars and the commanders and troops who fought them. This book takes a different approach. It presents battles and wars and people aplenty, but they are not its ultimate subjects. This book is about the turning points that not only make military history dynamic but crucial to the story of humanity and civilization. This book is about the decisions, acts, innovations, errors, ideas, successes, and failures that shaped the evolution of military art and science—strategy, tactics, and technology—and, in doing so, shaped the course of world history. Here are the 100 points—from the birth of warfare in the Battle of Megiddo, 1457 BC, to the ongoing evolution of military history on its newest battlefield, cyberspace—at which the path of the warrior decisively turned on its long journey to where we find ourselves today.

From the polio vaccine to the Post-It, the personal computer to Prozac, these are the scientific and technological innovations that have transformed our world. Award-winning author Alex Hutchinson unveils the 100 greatest inventions of the modern era--starting with the discovery of the transistor in 1947--complete with original photographs and anecdotes about their creation. For example, a candy bar melting in a scientist’s pocket during an experiment led to the invention of the microwave oven. Hutchinson consulted 25 experts at 17 museums and universities; their collective expertise spans aeronautics, automobiles, biology, computers, medicine, physics, and a host of other fields. The result includes some well-known breakthroughs (the laser, in-vitro fertilization) as well as a host of surprises (waffle-sole running shoes, the pull-top can). This charming book will delight, fascinate, and educate.

When thinking about inventions I am reminded of the quote, "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters". This book aims to list 100 greatest hits of humanity in terms of inventions to introduce and motivate future generations of inventors to the true range of human inventions. One of the books which made an impact on me as a child was The 100 by Princeton professor Michael Hart. This book takes a similar style and I hope will motivate a few future inventors. This is a book which ranks all the innovations we people invented and played a role in shaping humanity itself. This book ranks innovation based on impact to human cultural evolution irrespective whether it was purely positive. I have tried to give the rankings rational justification as much as possible, particularly by comparing an invention with its closest competitors and why it is ranked in a particular place relative to them. Think about the collective loss to humanity if Jonas Salk went to work on financial innovations for Goldman Sachs or advertising optimization for Google in the 1950s. How many of us know Robert Cochrane's work in India on leprosy (chapter on Antibiotic) or Maurice Hilleman's work who invented 40 vaccines including MMR (chapter on Vaccine) while we know all about the umpteenth billionaire selling a battery driven car or yet another useless form of social media. If humanity doesn't get our priorities right, the innovation that powered human productivity can slow down and human talent will be wasted away in serving advertisements a few more milliseconds faster or serving celebrities' thoughts in the toilet in one sentence bites or trading stocks using sophisticated neural networks. If the book helps few of the readers focus on fundamental inventions and human productivity this book will have done its job.
