Alexander Graham Bell:
An Inventive Life
“One would think that I had never done anything
worthwhile but the telephone,” complained Alexander
Graham Bell. No wonder he was annoyed; Bell invented the
phone when he was just 29 and went on to lead a long and
inventive life.
This biography in the Snapshots: Images of People and Places
in History series chronicles the life and many remarkable
achievements of Alexander Graham Bell, including his work
with the hearing impaired and experiments with flight, iceberg
locators and, of course, the telephone.

Reviews
“Alexander Graham Bell: An Inventive Life
is packed with pertinent information, it is easy to read,
and it includes an excellent chronology of Bell’s
life and times as well as great photographs, working notes,
and sketches.” – Books in Canada
“In what has … become a rush to publish biographies
of Bell, this emerges as the least formal, most approachable
of the pack.” – Kirkus Reviews
