"A History of Inventions, Discoveries, and Origins" is one of the best-known works by the German scientific author Johann Beckmann in which he relates the origin, history and recent condition of the various machines, utensils, etc., employed in trade and for domestic purposes. This work entitles Beckmann to be regarded as the founder of scientific technology, a term which he was the first to use in 1772.
