Most of us think of Alexander Graham Bell as a white-bearded sage, but the young A lec Bell was a passionate and wild-eyed genius, a man given to fits of brilliance and melancholy. His technologies for photophones, tetrahedrals, flying machines and hydrodomes laid the groundwork for future achievement. And he adored his wife, Mabel, a beautiful, deaf young woman from a blueblood Boston family.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGray goes where no other writer has gone, delving deeply into Bell's personality and into his intense relationship with Mabel, whose background and temperament were a startling contrast to his own. Reluctant Genius takes us on an intimate journey into the golden age of invention and the vibrant life of a man whose work shaped our world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53673555591441,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780006394761.jpg?v=1781526704","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-reluctant-genius-by-charlotte-gray","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
