A good book can take readers on a journey through time, transporting them to the past to learn about the hidden histories of everyday objects like light bulbs or clocks. It can also introduce readers to unforgettable characters, like an endlessly curious scientist who continued his fight to protect the planet despite dissenting voices denouncing his research.
