Resumen del Editor
Edwin Grosvenor writes of Bell's other extraordinary inventions: the first transmission of sound over light waves, metal detector, first practical phonograph, and early airplanes, including the first to fly in Canada. He also examines Bell's humanitarian efforts, including support for women's suffrage, civil rights, and speeches about what he warned would be a "greenhouse effect" of pollution causing global warming.

In late May 1927 an inexperienced and unassuming 25-year-old Air Mail pilot from rural Minnesota stunned the world by making the first non-stop transatlantic flight. A spectacular feat of individual daring and collective technological accomplishment, Charles Lindbergh's flight from New York to Paris ushered in America's age of commercial aviation.

He established a top-secret defense laboratory at MIT and personally bankrolled pioneering research into new, high-powered radar detection systems that helped defeat the German Air Force and U-boats. With Ernest Lawrence, he pushed Franklin Delano Roosevelt to fund research in nuclear fission, which led to the development of the atomic bomb.

Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.

Historia
In the mid- to late-19th century, a burgeoning science called electricity promised to shine new light on a rousing nation. Inventive and ambitious minds were hard at work. Soon that spark was fanned, and a war was under way to be the first to light - and run - the world with electricity. Thomas Alva Edison, the inventor of direct current (DC), engaged in a brutal battle with Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, the inventors of alternating current (AC). There would be no ties in this race - only a winner and a loser - and the prize was a nationwide monopoly in electric current.

Wilbur and Orville Wright are two of the greatest innovators in history, and together they solved the centuries-old riddle of powered, heavier-than-air flight. Glenn Hammond Curtiss was the most talented machinist of his day; he first became the fastest man alive when he perfected the motorcycle, then turned his eyes toward the skies to become the fastest man aloft. But between the Wrights and Curtiss bloomed a poisonous rivalry and a patent war so powerful that it shaped aviation in its early years and drove one of the three men to his grave.

Historia
His father conceived of the Brooklyn Bridge, but after John Roebling's sudden death, Washington Roebling built what has become one of American's most iconic structures - as much a part of New York as the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. Yet, as recognizable as the bridge is, its builder is too often forgotten - and his life is of interest far beyond his chosen field. It is the story of immigrants, of the frontier, of the greatest crisis in American history, and of the making of the modern world.

The Victorian Internet tells the colorful story of the telegraph's creation and remarkable impact and of the visionaries, oddballs, and eccentrics who pioneered it, from eighteenth-century French scientist Jean-Antoine Nollet to Samuel F. B. Morse and Thomas Edison. The electric telegraph nullified distance and shrank the world quicker and further than ever before or since, and its story mirrors and predicts that of the Internet in numerous ways.

One of the most admired nonfiction writers of our time retells the story of one truly fabulous year in the life of his native country - a fascinating and gripping narrative featuring such outsized American heroes as Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, and yes Herbert Hoover, and a gallery of criminals (Al Capone), eccentrics (Shipwreck Kelly), and close-mouthed politicians (Calvin Coolidge). It was the year Americans attempted and accomplished outsized things and came of age in a big, brawling manner. What a country. What a summer. And what a writer to bring it all so vividly alive.

Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller’s exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book indelibly alters our image of this most enigmatic capitalist. Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world’s richest man by creating America’s most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded "the Octopus" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.

This book details, the incredible life of a man who we normally associate with the telephone. But he did so much more than this and the authors. Do a great job of bringing it out in the detail it is definitely worth your time.

Lively Account of Bell's Life
This biography of Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) was written by his great grandson, Edwin S. Grosvenor. Edwin is the son of Melville Bell Grosvenor (1901-1982) who was president of the National Geographic Society. Melville’s father was Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor (1875-1966). He was considered the father of photojournalism and the first president of the National Geographic Society. Gilbert married Elsie May Bell (1878-1964), the daughter of Alexander Graham Bell. Bell was one of the founders of the National Geographic Society. Because of the Grosvenor family’s photography history, the book is loaded with photographs. The downside of listening to this book as an audiobook was missing out on the photographs.
Grosvenor explores Bell’s early life in Scotland and England including some of his childhood inventions. The author goes into depth about Bell’s teaching techniques to help the deaf children. He also examines Bell’s various inventions leading up to and including the telephone. He explains that Bell thoroughly understood the scientific theory of sound, acoustics and electricity. Bell had a wide range of interests and inventions in the areas of phonography, airplanes, solar power and metal detectors. He was a gifted teacher to the deaf. Bell taught Helen Keller to speak and arranged for Ann Sullivan to teach her. He also supported women’s suffrage, civil rights and warned about “greenhouse effect” of pollution. Bell felt the pollution of Edinburgh and London was a factor in the death of his brothers from Tuberculosis. This is only a brief list of the various interests of Bell. He was a most fascinating and brilliant man.
The book is well written and meticulously researched. The book is favorable toward Bell. Because the book is written by Bell’s great grandson there is more inside family information than there would otherwise normally be.
The book is six and half hours long. Donald Corren does an excellent job narrating the book. Corren is an actor and audiobook narrator.
