Abstract:  I.T. Publications of London, England has published One Hundred Innovations for Development, a book which profiles 100 solutions to technical problems in the developing world. The guiding principle is that "technical problems require technical solutions, but however innovative the solution it should also be simple, cheap, robust, easy to handle, maintain and repair, and capable of being manufactured in areas of demand." "The innovator has to be researcher, inventor, entrepreneur and social fieldworker in one person."
