There is a lot about the people behind the projects, and their determination to succeed. The book is very well produced. The presentation makes use of many excellent illustrations ... There is a great deal of useful background information, and the book is well annotated with footnotes. However it is read, this book gives fascinating insights into the product development process, and clearly displays that "genius" is at least 90% hard work and determination. - International Journal of Refrigeration 27 (2004)
