Historical inventions?

[Tinker Gnome]

Does anybody know any sites that have a list of inevntions throughout history and who inevnted them? I am mainly looking for Renaissance type stuff. But stuff from later periods would be nice as well. I have already looked up some stuff on my own, but have been having trouble finding anything.

Get a copy of the book "Timelines of History" and do a lot of reading.

Google can help a lot.

Just to try it out, I entered "inventions history timeline" and hit the Search button. The first few sites I found were amazing.

I tried that, and i still could not find any good sites.

For things like this I prefer an actual book, you can take it wih you to the game or even a resteraunt to read.

Timeline of History is very good (as mentioned before).
The Ancient Engineers by L. Sprague DeCamp. (Great book, you can find it very cheap as a used book by checking out Amazon.)
Chronicle of the World - basically a bunch of historical events done up like newspaper headlines.

The Auld Grump, look for used copies on Amazon.com online if money is an issue.
