What's Microwave Man About
Publisher Summary
Most people love microwave popcorn or a warm snack from the microwave, but before 1975, homes did not have this great device. How did Percy Spencer go from a small town mill worker to the inventor of one of the most popular devices in the world? This book explains how Spencer’s love of science and machines helped him achieve a patent for the microwave oven.
