The Goodyear Story
Richard Korman has written a fascinating biography of an inventor, Charles Goodyear, harnessing a new technology that also provides a panoramic view of America at the onset of its industrial revolution. Drawing on newly discovered archival records, Korman tells a suspenseful story of scientific experimentation and legal struggle in creating a portrait of an eminent American whose eccentricity anticipates the trials of new economy pioneers of today.
Noble Obsession
A riveting work of history that reads like enthralling fiction, Noble Obsession tells how Goodyear, a single-minded genius, risked his own life and his family's in a quest to unlock the secrets of rubber, and how Thomas Hancock, the scholarly English inventor who raced against Goodyear, ultimately robbed him of fame and fortune. Taking readers from the jungles of Brazil to the laboratories of Europe and the courtrooms of America, this fascinating book tells one of the strangest and most affecting sagas in the history of human discovery.

Trials of an Inventor
Excerpt from Trials of an Inventor: Life and Discoveries of Charles Goodyear Says Dr. Bacon, in a sermon preached in his own church, in New Haven, the Sabbath succeeding the funeral of Mr. Charles Goodyear, "the singular story of his life, and the greatness of the contribution which he has made to the wealth and welfare, not of his native city only but of his country, and to the commerce, industry, and material civilization of the world, will justify my reference to him in connection with the subject of discourse."
