Did you know that the caterpillar tread, common on bulldozers and tanks,\u003cbr\u003e\noriginated from the design of Lombard’s steam log hauler; or that the dry plate photographic process was\u003cbr\u003e\ncreated by the Stanley brothers, who also invented a speed-record setting steam powered car and whose\u003cbr\u003e\nsister, Chansonetta, was a well-known photographer in her own right? Maxim’s machine gun forever\u003cbr\u003e\nchanged the practice of warfare. The humble peavey is a simple tool well-known to any forester or\u003cbr\u003e\nlumberjack. The ubiquitous lobster boat, the microwave oven, earmuffs, and Monopoly—all came from\u003cbr\u003e\nthe minds of Mainers. This book is a celebration of Maine’s creative ingenuity—from the very large, such\u003cbr\u003e\nas Portland Head Light and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge to the very small, such as the toothpick and the\u003cbr\u003e\nBean boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608936311\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.2 x 7.7 x 0.5 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Globe Pequot Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52275517358378,"sku":"1608936317","price":16.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6936\/0938\/files\/81wvVcZDGnL.jpg?v=1787013803","url":"https:\/\/neartisan.com\/products\/how-maine-changed-the-world","provider":"SeasonalMaine.com [New England Artisan]","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
