From the physics behind both Roman nails and modern skyscrapers to rudimentary springs that inspired lithium batteries, Agrawal shows us how even the most sophisticated items are built on the foundations of these ancient and fundamental breakthroughs in engineering.

As I grew older, my feelings for him changed, but I chose to keep my thoughts to myself.

Why not, when all of literature, all of art, of human endeavour is just a speck in the universe of possible things?
