Summary:

This contemporary of Thomas Edison and Guglielmo Marconi is seldom credited with his inventions. Yet, we benefit from the technology he invented, developed, or imagined as we make use of electricity, remote control devices, neon and flourescent lighting, and radio transmission. An inspiring story of perseverence and world changing ideas.
