AUTHOR

Hughes, Thomas Parke

SUMMARY

This riveting story of America's love affair with technology provides remarkable portraits of the lives and times of the early inventors--Edison, Bell, the Wright brothers, and charts the changing modes of invention from the age of independent innovation to today's corporate research labs and vast technological systems. This is the powerful and dramatic tale of our nation's incessant impulse to invent and discover, and of our complex relationship with the fruits of this impulse--a relationship that finds us liberated, dependent, enthusiastic, and skeptical all at once.Hughes, Thomas Parke is the author of 'American Genesis' with ISBN 9780140097412 and ISBN 0140097414.
