Before the smartphone in your pocket, the television in your living room, or the dashboard of your car, there was one man and one material that changed everything. Born a humble Belgian prodigy, Leo Hendrik Baekeland turned down a life of academia to pursue a daring American dream. After inventing and selling a revolutionary photographic paper, he risked his fortune and his reputation on a chaotic, unpredictable chemical reaction. His goal: to create a material that didn't exist in nature. The result was Bakelite, the world's first true synthetic plastic. This book is the definitive story of the "Father of Plastics," a relentless innovator who not only created a material but also inaugurated an entire industrial age. From his early struggles in New York to his global triumphs, discover how Baekeland's genius for invention, his fierce entrepreneurial spirit, and his unwavering principles forged a legacy that continues to shape our world.
