Tube: The Invention of Television (Harvest Book) Book

Telling the tale of the corporate revolution that forever changed the nature of the individual is no easy task. Authors David E. Fisher and Marshall Jon Fisher have hidden their sociohistory between the lines of the exciting story of the race to invent television. Eccentric geniuses John Logie Baird (whose only other invention was stay-dry socks) and teenaged Utah farm boy Philo T.

Pitting these lone romantics against the collective will of RCA, Tube turns a history of science into a thrilling page-turner.Read More
