Книга Льва Гумилевского "Создатели двигателей" в увлекательной форме знакомит юного читателя с историей возникновения, создания и развития всех современных двигателей. Очень хорошо в ней показаны психология изобретателя и конструктора, особенности его мышления.
Вызывая интерес к технике, книга как бы говорит юному читателю, что в техническом творчестве нельзя рассчитывать на счастливый случай, на удачу, на какие-то врожденные качества, что отдельными случаями может воспользоваться, понять их и, прежде всего, просто заметить только тот, кто упорен и настойчив в достижении поставленной цели.
