Noble Obsession by Charles Slack
A riveting work of history that reads like enthralling fiction, Noble Obsession tells how Goodyear, a single-minded genius, risked his own life and his family's in a quest to unlock the secrets of rubber, and how Thomas Hancock, the scholarly English inventor who raced against Goodyear, ultimately robbed him of fame and fortune. Taking readers from the jungles of Brazil to the laboratories of Europe and the courtrooms of America, this fascinating book tells one of the strangest and most affecting sagas in the history of human discovery.| SKU | Unavailable |
