Télécharger One Good Turn: A Natural History of the Screwdriver and the Screw de Witold Rybczynski Francais PDF One of our finest cultural and architectural historians, Rybczynski renders a graceful, original, and engaging portrait of the tool that changed the course of civilization. Rybczynski writes an ode to the screw, without which there would be no telescope, no microscope - in short, no enlightenment science. It is a story of mechanical discovery and genius that takes readers from ancient Greece to car design in the age of American industry. One Good Turn is a story starring Archimedes, who invented the water screw and introduced the helix, and Leonardo, who sketched a machine for carving wood screws. His intimate knowledge of the toolbox - both its contents and its history - serves him beautifully on his quest. The Best Tool of the Millennium The seeds of Rybczynski's elegant and illuminating new book were sown by The New York Times, whose editors asked him to write an essay identifying 'the best tool of the millennium.' The award-winning author of Home, A Clearing in the Distance, and Now I Sit Me Down, Rybczynski once built a house using only hand tools.
