“Ingenious minds will find plenty of inspiration in this audiobook…[Soames’] voice reveals personal interest in the subject matter that will surely be transferred to listeners. The period music separating the inventors’ biographies is an effective addition. Even listeners who don’t usually choose nonfiction audio will find something to fascinate them.”
