ISBN: 9780006394761.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpeccably researched, and written with Charlotte Gray’s unerring eye for personal and historical detail, Reluctant Genius tells the story of a man very different from his public image. 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.\nGray 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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67899939815477,"sku":"ByrdShop_0006394760","price":28.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780006394761.jpg?v=1793801185","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/reluctant-genius-9780006394761","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
