- Abstract
From the back cover: "Imagine a world without wi-fi or clothes lines or lawnmowers or Vegemite or dual-flush toilets or even mousetraps. Weird, huh? These are just a few of the many inventions that have been created by clever Australians to solve some of life's difficult problems. Problem: How do you find clues that are invisible to the naked eye at a crime scene? Problem: How do you help a person hear everyday sounds? Problem: How do you access the Internet without having to plug in your computer?"
