Featuring brilliant thinkers from coast to coast to coast, and others from around the world who now call Canada home, this book profiles some of the most inventive and creative Canadians and the ideas that are making Canada a leading nation in innovation. Featured profiles includes first director of engineering at Google, a PhD in nuclear physics who has twice won the Scotiabank Giller Prize, and the linguist who works with Indigenous people to make online dictionaries. And don't forget the engineer who grew human cells on apples, a feat that is leading to the creation of replacement organs that do not require donors.
