Farnsworth. This book insists it was the farm boy-turned-inventor, who created television in a laboratory in San Francisco on Sept. 7,1927, and this is the 7Sth anniversary of that invention. As a 14-year-old, Philo, in the summer of 1921, was strapped to a horse-drawn disc-harrow, culti vating a potato field row by row, “turning the soil and dreaming about television to relieve the mo notony,” according to THE BOY. “As the open summer sun blazed down on him, he stopped for a moment and turned around to survey the afternoon’s work. In one vivid moment, everything he had been thinking about and studying synthesized in novel way, and a daring idea crystal lized in this boy’s brain. As he surveyed the field he had plowed one row at a time, he suddenly imagined trapping light in an empty jar and transmitting it one line at a time on a magnetically deflected beam of electrons” (page 17). Zworykin, however, according to the book, basically applied for a patent in 1923 for an idea that could have amounted to televi sion had it worked. A patent interference ruling in 1934, how ever, noted the device was “inop erative.” Zworykin actually may have gotten his ideas for farther success with television from a meeting with Farnsworth. The book makes them at least co-in ventors: yet the patent #1,773,980 was issued in August 1930 for Farnsworth’s successful work. Farnsworth had even grander ideas about other inventions, too, that could radically change the world. They include an idea for controlled fusion. “As the con cept of electronic television had arrived on a potato field in the summer of 1921, a practical ap proach to fusion energy arrived in a ’49 Cadillac on a Great Plains highway, somewhere be tween Indiana and Utah, in the summer of 1953” (page 214). Schatzkin has made it a life time venture, studying the fa mous inventor, and interviewed family and associates to create this book. While I like to see more about the personality of fa mous inventors in a biography. msmmm this book took 25 years to finish, and is a great testament to a ge nius. Schatzkin notes that as the 75th anniversary of the first TV transmission approaches, he hopes that “this voluihe, and all the years that have gone into its making, will add some texture and meaning to that celebration.” Order from Team Com Books, 3103 Fairland Rd., Silver Spring, MD 20904, (301) 847-7600, or on the Web, www.TeamComßook s.com.

ISBN 0-87905-671-1 Log homes are always in fash ion, it seems, and you haven't seen them all until you’ve read THE LOG HOME BOOK, which has undergone a few printings al ready. The book itself, chockfull of four-color photographs of custom log homes throughout the coun try, makes an excellent coffee table book in its own right. Visi tors can page through this to see the latest. These houses are exquisite. I didn’t think it possible to live this good. Good living can be done without two-by-four frame con struction, and artists can be im bued with all sorts of muse and inspiration.

Not only houses, but interior decorat ing techniques are a big highlight of this beautiful book. Order from Gibbs Smith, P.O.
