With informative text and powerful artwork, young readers are introduced to one of the greatest inventors and philanthropists in American history.
Growing from a family fascination with and work on speech pathology, Bell, of course, went on to invent the telephone (which he nearly forgot to patent). But he also invented the metal detector (in an attempt to help locate a bullet in President Garfield's body) and many other fascinating things while financially supporting the work of many other scientists and donating money to any number of charitable concerns. A model scientist and outstanding humanitarian.
