Inventorship

A fascinating volume on becoming both innovative and inventive Inventorship combines the best traits of innovators and inventors. Leonard Greene – inventor of the life-saving aircraft stall warning indicator, automatic throttles, wind shear detector, and holder of more than 100 patents – tells how the techniques inventors use can be the key to their career. He writes a lively personal account on how to practice inventorship to great advantage – a hot subject now, especially with the development of e-commerce. Readers will easily extrapolate from the author’s out-of-the-box thinking. Replete with personal anecdotes, this is a nontechnical account of one of America’s greatest living inventors. Leonard M. Greene (White Plains, NY) is the inventor of the anti-stall device, which is now used on all aircraft. An inventor with over 100 patents, Greene is also an active pilot who holds many aviation records and awards, as well as an accomplished yachtsman who has participated in many domestic and international sailing competitions – including the America’s Cup.
