Philo Farnsworth Invents TVISBN 1-58415-303-2 • 9781584153030List Price $25.70School/Library Price $17.95In StockOne day in 1921, while cutting hay, a 15-year-old boy named Philo Farnsworth figured out how to send sound and pictures through the air by electricity—what we call television. But even though he knew how he wanted television to work, it took Philo years of scientific tests and experiments to make it actually work. During these years, Philo constantly struggled to find enough money to conduct these tests. Then, just when he was near success, new problems arose. This is the fascinating story of Philo Farnsworth—the father of television. His dream changed the world. |
Robert Goddard: Rocket ManISBN 1-58415-304-0 • 9781584153047List Price $25.70School/Library Price $17.95In StockWhen he was just 17 years old, Robert Goddard climbed a cherry tree, looked up in the sky, and had an idea that one day he would build rockets to travel into outer space. From that day on, Goddard dedicated his life to this idea. It was difficult work. Many of Goddard's rocket models blew up. Many of his test flights failed. But he also had many successes, such as the first-ever launch of a liquid fuel rocket. Throughout it all, Goddard never gave up, even when he was sick and dying. Thanks to him, the United States was ready to enter the Space Age. This is the story of the man they call "Rocket Man." |
