Bought this book some years ago and have loved it since. Photos and descriptions of simple inventions which really help people out, from instant desalinators to produce drinking water to quick self-build houses for earthquake victims, each told with a story around them. A great book, and as great as the association or architects which produced the book
Listmania!
