\"Caz<\/a>(Cazenovia, NY \u2013 Nov. 2015) \u00a0\u201cThe Rothschild Patent Model Collection lets us see how different our lives would be without the spirit of invention.\u00a0\u00a0Seeing what other inventors have done is what motivates us to think outside of the box and to look at life differently.\u00a0\u00a0Do we want to watch life go by or be a part of it?\u201d (Steve Wozniak, Co-Founder of Apple Computer)<\/p>\n

Wozniak\u2019s accolade is just one of many that celebrates\u00a0Make: Inventing a Better Mousetrap\u00a0by local authors Alan and Ann Rothschild.\u00a0 \u00a0All are invited to join them on Friday, Dec. 11\u00a0at 7 pm in the Cazenovia Public Library Community Room for a \u201cRelease Party and Book Signing\u201d event.\u00a0 And through the Rothschild\u2019s incredible generosity, all proceeds from the book sales will be donated to the Library.<\/p>\n

Make: Inventing a Better Mousetrap\u00a0presents 200 years of American history in the amazing world of patent models.\u00a0 Featured are patent models by four hundred men and women inventors.\u00a0 Some became famous\u2014B.F.Goodrich and Christian Steinway\u2014but most did not.\u00a0 In the Rothschild book, these, too, are finally recognized for their ingenuity and imagination, and with them the historic, scientific, and artistic value of their models.<\/p>\n

The Rothschild presentation will highlight these values and the role that patent models played in American history during a period of intense technological advancement, the Industrial Revolution.\u00a0 Additionally, deep insight into the cultural, economic, and political history of the United States comes alive on the pages of this book, all though the stories of these little patent models.<\/p>\n

And, do you want to make a patent model?\u00a0 This book includes six patent models and the step-by-step instructions and resources to replicate them.\u00a0 Who knows; from there you, too, might invent a better mousetrap.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss an enjoyable evening at the Library with the Rothschilds and your friends and neighbors.\u00a0 In addition to an enlightening presentation, refreshments (and conversation) will be served.<\/p>\n

And while you\u2019re at the Library, take a minute to enjoy the patent model display in the \u201cLocal History\u201d area.\u00a0 These, too, have been donated by the Rothschilds, and they not only provide historic examples of American ingenuity to us, but also to countless others who will walk through the Library in the years ahead.<\/p>\n
