The Invention of Miracles: language, power, and Alexander Graham Bell's quest to end deafness by Katie Booth

Fascinating. The Invention of Miracles tells the story of how Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone was intertwined with his sincere but misguided passion for teaching the deaf how to speak. It’s a tale of great love, brilliant innovation, personal drama, and the unintended consequences of good intentions.
Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Leonardo Da Vinci and Steve Jobs

A 400-page volume of superb scholarship.
Nevil Gibson, NBR

This is a comprehensive biography of a great man. The author admires his work but does not hold back from strong criticism of his ideas on the deaf.
