I'm not into history that much, but stories of invention, and architecture do spark my interest. I just saw Jim Rasenburger on CSPAN review his new book, AMERICA 1908. A pivotal year, that changes us and the world. If anyone has read this and his other past publication, HIGH STEEL (which interests me the most),let me know what you think. Think I might get both :o)
