Title: This is a rubber world
Review: The book is well researched and sheds some light on one of the most important , while least famous, scientific discovery of our time: the modern rubber processing.While telling this story, the author does also a great job in portraying with vivid colors some aspects of the life and society of 1800 America.Goodyear devotes his existence to study and modify the behavior of the rubber and during this pursuit endures poverty, frequent prison stints and health deterioration. But most of all he neglects completely the needs of his family, spending all his money on rubber research.While Mr Slack defines Goodyear as an " obsessed " man I think a more correct definition could be closer to mental illness.The book spends quite some space in describing the legal fights between the key players involved with patents regarding rubber processing, and I found these sections not very interesting.4 stars.
