Description
Period photographs as well as pages from Bell’s original notebooks help paint a vivid portrait of the man who — from his first invention at age 11 (a tool to clean husks from wheat kernels) to his patent on hydrofoil improvements 64 years later — was always inventing.
With photographs and quotes from Bell himself, this photobiography follows this well known inventor from his childhood in Scotland through his life-long efforts to come up with ideas that would improve people’s lives. Foreword by Bell’s great-grandson and current chairman of the National Geographic Society. 60 two-color illustrations.
