The Last Lone Inventor by Evan I. Schwartz (Paperback - Reprint)

In a story that is both of its time and timeless, Evan I. Schwartz tells a tale of genius versus greed, innocence versus deceit, and independent brilliance versus corporate arrogance. Many men have laid claim to the title "father of television," but Philo T. Farnsworth is the true genius behind what may be the most influential invention of our time.

Driven by his obsession to demonstrate his idea,by the age of twenty Farnsworth was operating his own laboratory above a garage in San Francisco and filing for patents. The resulting publicity caught the attention of RCA tycoon David Sarnoff, who became determined to control television in the same way he monopolized radio.

Based on original research, including interviews with Farnsworth family members, The Last Lone Inventor is the story of the epic struggle between two equally passionate adversaries whose clash symbolized a turning point in the culture of creativity.

Autodesk Inventor by James M. Leake (PACKAGE - McGraw-Hill Science Engineering)
Autodesk Inventor by James Leake (University of Illinois) aims to be a hands-on, tutorial-driven introduction to Autodesk Inventor 6.0. The text provides beginners with the most important aspects of Autodesk Inventor and uses the accompanying CD ROM and website to reinforce learning objectives.

Each chapter within the text contains an introduction as it relates to parametric modeling, tutorials, and additional problems. Parametric modelers like Autodesk Inventor focus on creating virtual assemblies of parts (i.e., products) rather than standalone parts. Leake's text, therefore, is built around product assemblies, as evidenced in the tutorials at the end of each chapter. These tutorials take the user through part and assembly modeling, drawing, documentation, and finally, the simulation, analysis, and presentation of these products.

Autodesk Inventor also emphasizes the importance of build strategy. Before each end-of-chapter tutorial, the user will find clearly summarized steps of how to complete it. Taken together, these summary steps amount to a strategy for building each model and allow both new and experienced users to learn to think in terms of features, and to plan out a feature-based build strategy before starting to model.

On the accompanying CD to Autodesk Inventor, users can view 30 video tutorials, each with a corresponding learning objective, to model Inventor features and processes. In addition, the CD contains numerous Inventor and associated files (including demos) that enable users to electronically assemble the objects built in the text, such as the ball valve and a garlic press.

More video tutorials are available on the Autodesk Inventor website (www.mhhe.com/leake), where users will also find end-of-chapter questions and over 25 downloadable PowerPoint lectures covering topics in engineering graphics, geometric modeling, and parametric modeling.

The Inventor of Stereo by Robert Charles Alexander (Paperback - Focal Pr)
This book is the definitive study of the life and works of one of Britain's most important inventors who, due to a cruel set of circumstances, has all but been overlooked by history.

Alan Dower Blumlein led an extraordinary life in which his inventive output rate easily surpassed that of Edison, but whose early death during the darkest days of World War Two led to a shroud of secrecy which has covered his life and achievements ever since.

His 1931 Patent for a Binaural Recording system was so revolutionary that most of his contemporaries regarded it at as more than 20 years ahead of its time. Even years after his death, the full magnitude of its detail had not been fully utilized. Among his 128 Patents are the principle electronic circuits critical to the development of the world's first electronic television system. During his short working life, Blumlein produced patent after patent breaking entirely new ground in electronic and audio engineering.

During the Second World War, Alan Blumlein was deeply engaged in the very secret work of radar development and contributed enormously to the system eventually to become 'H2S'- blind bombing radar. Tragically, during an experimental H2S flight in June 1942, the Halifax bomber in which Blumlein and several colleagues were flying, crashed and all aboard were killed. He was just days short of his 39th birthday.

For many years there have been rumours about a biography of Alan Blumlein, yet none has been forthcoming. This is the world's first study of a man whose achievements should rank among those of the greatest Britain has produced. This book provides detailed knowledge of every one of his patents and the process behind them, while giving an in depth study of the life and times of this quite extraordinary man.

Contains hitherto unavailable TOP SECRET information
Provides fascinating insights into developments in audio, electronics and radar
Foreword written by Sir Bernard Lovell

Signor Marconi's Magic Box by Gavin Weightman (Paperback - Da Capo Pr)
The world at the turn of the twentieth century was in the throes of "Marconi-mania"-brought on by an incredible invention that no one could quite explain, and by a dapper and eccentric figure (who would one day win the newly minted Nobel Prize) at the center of it all. At a time when the telephone, telegraph, and electricity made the whole world wonder just what science would think of next, the startling answer had come in 1896 in the form of two mysterious wooden boxes containing a device Marconi had rigged up to transmit messages "through the ether." It was the birth of the radio, and no scientist in Europe or America, not even Marconi himself, could at first explain how it worked...it just did.

Here is a rich portrait of the man and his era-a captivating tale of British blowhards, American con artists, and Marconi himself-a character par excellence, who eventually winds up a virtual prisoner of his worldwide fame and fortune.
