Did you know that the walkie-talkie was invented by a British Columbia resident? Or that the Jolly Jumper was inspired by First Nations cradle boards and invented by a part-Native B.C. woman? This book is an encyclopedia of interesting and important science innovations from British Columbia. Coauthors Cullis and Suziki inform the reader about many scientific achievements that have occurred in B.C. in such diverse fields as architecture (earthquake-proof buildings), medicine (TRIUMF's PET brain scanner), fire-fighting techniques in forestry, and transportation and communications innovations for rugged terrain. Find out more about the people behind the ideas and inventions while browsing through Frontier for Ideas, which aims to encourage curiosity and innovation in the next generation of Canadians.
