Code named Ginger
I recently bought a segway I2 and was intrigued to find out more about its development. I was impressed by the ingenuity of Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway. The book is very readable and provides behind the scenes history of the inventor and his various inventions.It reveals the triumphs and frustrations along the way to the development of the Segway which was code named project Ginger after Ginger Rogers the dancer. It is people like Dean Kamen who have impacted this world in a very positive way. He was the first to invent the iv infusion pump, the insulin pump and a wheelchair that can climb over curbs and stairs. The wheelchair was code named Fred, after Fred Astaire, the dancer. Mr. Dean Kamen used the term "Fred Upstairs" for his stair climbing wheelchair. Fred Astaire's dancing partner was Ginger Rogers in many movies. The Segway uses gyro motors to maintain its balance much like Dean Kamen's wheelchair so the name project Ginger was very appropriate. This book would appeal to anyone who owns a Segway or is intending on purchasing one. It is also a very inspiring book for anyone interested in finding out what makes a person successful and "stand out from the crowd".Read full review

Code Name Ginger
I do not read many books, I mainly got it for the Segway part. I got a Segway a few years ago, and had no Idea he had his hands in so many wonderfull inventions, the Segway never helped keep anyone alive, yet it was what I only knew of this man from. I would have had no idea, unless I was a Dr, or in the care of someone you love, that he made their lives beter for it. The next time I visit someone in the hospital, and see one of the many things that are around. I will bring up his name, Ginger Inventor was here! Greg
