About the book: 1969 / Essentially, we still know little how the human brain creates new things - say, a new song, an original work, an unusual car, etc. d. We know the number of brain cells (there are 14–17 billion of them), we know which area controls which body function, but we are not able to distinguish the brain of a brilliant person from the brain of an ordinary inhabitant of the planet. The nature of any talent is thus mysterious. However, how the process of discovery, the process of invention, occurs can be described. B. Blinov, engineer-inventor, does this in his book. He tells how the “impulse” of an invention arises, how it then develops into an idea and how it ends with a new design. Showing the psychology of invention is the most important thing in the book. But something else is also important - entertaining and understandable presentation..
