From the Publisher
George Washington Carver
George discovered that peanuts could be used to create hundreds of products. Many of them are food products that people consume almost every day. Some of the food items George developed from peanuts are milk, cream, cheese, instant coffee, and cooking oil.
Shirley Jackson
Shirley is responsible for developing the technology that led to Call Waiting and Caller ID. Findings from her research and experiments were used by other inventors to create fiber-optic cables, which have improved the internet, cable TV, and telephone systems.
Garrett Morgan
Garrett invented modern traffic lights, which stay red in both directions for a few seconds to help keep drivers safe. He also invented masks that help firefighters breathe safely when they rush into buildings to save people.
