Swedish genius

In Swedish Genius, authors Petter Karlsson and Johan Erséus tell the stories of the people behind some of the most ingenious Swedish inventions. Gripping portraits are interspersed with little-known anecdotes. Nobel Prize-winner Gustaf Dahlén for example - a late riser in his youth - invented the world´s first automatic coffee maker with a timer while only 14 years old. The book is richly illustrated with photos, drawings, letters and original advertisements.
