Weber (psychology, Oklahoma State Univ.) examines a wide range of inventions to determine whether hidden principles guided their creation. He develops a taxonomy for classifying inventions and ties it to recurrent heuristics to establish a common thread among many of our more successful inventions. It is difficult to evaluate how well Weber's ideas would work as predictors of future developments, but as explanations of past events, his arguments have a sense of logic and insight. Even if his hindsight is better than his foresight, this is an interesting and entertaining work.
