100 Diagrams That Changed the World, Scott Christianson, c. 2012

A fun book to share with middle school students.

100 diagrams.

214 pages (not including index, etc).

So, with 214 pages and 100 diagrams, it works out to about one page for each diagram, and one page devoted to an exploratory note by the author.

Diagrams in chronological order, of course.

Leonardo da Vinci: credited with three drawings.

Ptolemy: two drawings.

Steve Jobs: one drawing.

Apple: one drawing.

Absent: Stephen Hawking. Albert Einstein. Borh. Atom. Christopher Columbus.

Most surprising: "graded sewing patterns."
