Genius at Work! Great Inventor Biographies series.

The inspiring histories of determined individuals, described in accessible if a bit simplistic texts, are augmented by archival photographs. Source material for each volume is unfortunately lacking. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Genius at Work! Great Inventor Biographies titles: The Cornflake King, The Guy Who Invented Home Video Games, Hair-Care Millionaire, Helicopter Man, The Man Behind the Gun, and Sign Language Man.
