About this title:
Synopsis: Noble Obsession follows the life of Charles Goodyear, a single-minded genius who risked his own life and that of his family in a quest to unlock the secrets of rubber. In rich, historical detail, it chronicles the personal price Goodyear paid in pursuit of his dream and his bitter rivalry with Thomas Hancock, the scholarly English inventor who ultimately robbed Goodyear of fame and fortune. From the jungles of Brazil to the laboratories of Europe to the courtrooms of America, Noble Obsession tells one of the strangest and most affecting sagas in the history of human discovery.
About the Author: Charles Slack is the author of Blue Fairways. A former newspaper reporter in Virginia and Tennessee, he is now a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Esquire, Reader's Digest, and other national magazines. He lives in Trumbull,Connecticut.
