Feature
Reluctant Genius Alexander Graham Bell and the Passion for InventionDescription
The popular image of Alexander Graham Bell is that of an elderly American patriarch, memorable only for his paunch, his Santa Claus beard, and the invention of the telephone. In this magisterial reassessment based on thorough new research, acclaimed biographer Charlotte Gray reveals Bells wide-ranging passion for invention and delves into the private life that supported his genius. The child of a speech therapist and a deaf mother, and possessed of superbly acute hearing, Bell developed an early interest in sound. His understanding of how sound waves might relate to electrical waves enabled him to invent the talking telegraph be- fore his rivals, even as he undertook a tempestuous courtship of the woman who would become his wife and mainstay.
In an intensely competitive age, Bell seemed to shun fame and fortune. Yet many of his innovationselectric heating, using light to transmit sound, electronic mail, composting toilets, the artificial lungwere far ahead of their time. His pioneering ideas about sound, flight, genetics, and even the engineering of complex structures such as stadium roofs still resonate today. This is an essential portrait of an American giant whose innovations revolutionized the modern world.

What 1 did these pamphlets support him A. Yes; and at his ease too; for he did not takeup his time in correcting and publishing a volume he entertained the public with these ying numbers, at least seven or eight in the year.-b. What a pity it is to deprive -the world of the industry of so good 'a hand; and how comes it they forbid writings of amusement, the very best things in the world? The public loves to be entertained, and why are they not at their liberty to buy what diverts them P - A. You are certainly in the right and this prevailing taste makes both for authors and booksellers. But then this is the ground of the clamour against that kind of writings; they say that nothing is wrote nowadays but low nonsense and mere bagatelle and that posterity will distinguish this age for the Age of romances and all sorts of futz'lz'bl. They say, moreover, that there is a general depravity of taste; that these broken numbers are a real tax upon the public that by this means a romance is swelled to an intolerable size.
