Before screens were everywhere, there was one man whose obsessive quest gave humanity the gift of sight-by wireless. John Logie Baird was an unlikely hero: a sickly, penniless Scottish engineer whose eccentric early career involved failures from diamond-making machines to foot-warming socks. Yet, in a dimly lit London lab, he perfected the impossible, transmitting the world's first true television picture using nothing more than cardboard discs and relentless ingenuity. This is the dramatic story of the birth of the moving image. It chronicles Baird's spectacular triumphs-the world's first public TV service, transatlantic broadcasts, and early colour television-set against a backdrop of fierce corporate warfare and his tragic, losing battle against the powerful electronic technologies that would ultimately eclipse his mechanical genius. He won the race to invent television. Why did history forget him? Approx.172 pages, 35100 word count
