The title ? Femina Problematis Solvendis ? is a play on the scientific classifications of humans (Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo sapiens), but with special focus on inventions pioneered by women (?femina?) and is intended to suggest that a defining characteristic of modern humans is our fundamental ability to solve problems (i.e., problem-solving woman = Femina problematis solvendis), Written by David H. Cropley, an internationally recognised expert on creativity and innovation, it also builds on his previous book ?Homo Problematis Solvendis ?Problem-solving Man?, published in 2019. The book explores innovations over ten distinct ?ages? of human history, beginning with ?prehistory?, and moving up to the present ?information age?. Each era is covered by a dedicated chapter that describes three key innovations that were either definitely invented by a woman or can be plausibly attributed to a female inventor. The book?s focus on female inventors also serves to highlight some of the ways women have been treated in societies over time. 606 $aHistory 606 $aEngineering 606 $aEngineering design 606 $aSociology 606 $aTechnical education 606 $aPsychology 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aEngineering, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T00004 606 $aEngineering Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17020 606 $aSociology, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000 606 $aEngineering/Technology Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O43000 606 $aPsychology, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y00007 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aEngineering. 615 0$aEngineering design. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aTechnical education. 615 0$aPsychology. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aEngineering, general. 615 24$aEngineering Design. 615 24$aSociology, general. 615 24$aEngineering/Technology Education. 615 24$aPsychology, general. 676 $a153.35 700 $aCropley$b David H$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0944062 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910399872103321 996 $aFemina Problematis Solvendis?Problem solving Woman$92195577 997 $aUNINA
