Using patents, published and unpublished documents, and interviews with television pioneers including Zworykin himself, Abramson reconstructs the inventor's life from his early years in Russia, through his stay as RCA's technical guru under David Sarnoff, to his death in 1982. More than fifty photographs show highlights of Zworykin's work. Abramson notes the contributions of other scientistsparticularly Zworykin's biggest rival, Philo T. Farnsworthto the advancement of television. However, he argues, it was Zworykin's inventions that made modern, allelectronic television possible, causing many to award him the title 'father of television'.'His achievements rank him with Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell,' states Albert Abramson in this discerning, often dramatic biography of Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, the Russianborn scientist who 'did more to create our present system of cathoderay television than any other person.'
