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

The Last Lone Inventor is a gripping and eminently readable saga of the birth of television and the death of the Edisonian myth.

This book tells the story of Philo T.

Farnsworth, the true genius behind what may be the most influential invention of our time.

Driven by his obsession to demonstrate his idea, Farnsworth was operating his own laboratory above a garage in San Francisco and filing for patents by the age of 20.

The resulting publicity caught the attention of RCA tycoon David Sarnoff, who became determined to control television in the same way he monopolized radio.

This epic struggle between two equally passionate adversaries symbolized a turning point in the culture of creativity.

With strong, dramatic prose, The Last Lone Inventor is a fascinating inside story of how this eccentric loner invented television and fought corporate America.
