| Summary: | The first biography of the brilliant inventor and practical experimenter, British-born David Edward Hughes. A contemporary of Edison and Bell, Hughes made major contributions in the fields of telegraphy, telephony, metal detection, and audiology His printing telegraph, adopted across much of Europe, made him a fortune, and he freely gave away all of his later inventions. Hughes sent and received wireless signals in 1879, some sixteen years before Marconi, but faced with the skepticism of his peers, he discontinued his research, and his accomplishments were only recognized years later. The fruit of over ten years of research in libraries, archives, and museums, a well as access to all of Hughes's private papers and visit to places where Hughes lived and worked in the US, UK, and Europe, this is the definitive account of a great Victorian scientist whose inventions laid the foundations of the Communication Age. Over 100 prints, documents, and artifacts. Extensive chapter notes and index. |
