The Remarkable Invention That Saves Zion Great New Adventure Story for Ages 9 - 14! The Theory of Invention Problem Solving (TRIZ) forms the scientific basis of this fast-paced adventure story that takes place in Israel's future. Four Israeli students, along with their visiting American cousin, gain a sneak preview of a Professor's latest invention. This machine, if utilized in the hands of the wrong people, could change the very foundation of Israels society. Unwittingly, the foursome's curiosity creates a Pandora's box of troubles as the invention is stolen by an unscrupulous spy. Discovering the thief's identity and uncovering his purpose will hopefully save the country and reawaken the bond that exists between the Land and its People. In order to ferret out the spy and get back the invention, the group uses a TRIZ technique that will both amaze the reader and reveal how to unlock the ability to solve any problem with the innate logic of your mind. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Yehudit Stupniker was born in England, grew up in Perth, Australia, and chose to return to her ancestral home of Israel in 1979, where she eventually began to lecture in Early Childhood Language Development. As a proponent of the new science of TRIZ, Yehudit says , "I wanted to make TRIZ come alive for young people. In this book I lead the reader through the logic patterns that will help him or her come to the conclusions that our heroes come to in the story. Actually, TRIZ can be used to figure out any problem, even those that would ordinarily stump a young person. It's an exciting new way of thinking." WHAT IS TRIZ? TRIZ is an authentic problem solving method based on logic and data, not intuition, which accelerates the project team's ability to solve these problems creatively. TRIZ also provides repeatability, predictability, and reliability due to its structure and algorithmic approach. "TRIZ" is the (Russian) acronym for the "Theory of Inventive Problem Solving." G.S. Altshuller and his colleagues in the former U.S.S.R. developed the method between 1946 and 1985. TRIZ is an international science of creativity that relies on the study of the patterns of problems and solutions, not on the spontaneous and intuitive creativity of individuals or groups. More than three million patents have been analyzed to discover the patterns that predict breakthrough solutions to problems.
