Book excerpt: 'Baddeck, And That Sort of Thing' is a travel journal written by Charles Dudley Warner, the American author who co-wrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today with Mark Twain. In 1873, Joseph Twichell invited Warner to accompany him on a trip to Baddeck, Nova Scotia. Warner subsequently wrote an account of this trip, which became this book. The book helped launch Baddeck, and Cape Breton more broadly, as a tourist destination and may have influenced Alexander Graham Bell's decision to build a home in Baddeck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Dudley Warner (1829 - 1900) was an American essayist, novelist, and friend of Mark Twain, with whom he co-authored the novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. Warner traveled widely, lectured frequently, and was actively interested in prison reform, city park supervision, and other movements for the public good. He was the first president of the National Institute of Arts and Letters, and, at the time of his death, was president of the American Social Science Association. He first attracted attention with the reflective sketches in My Summer in a Garden (1870). First published as a series in The Hartford Courant, these sketches were popular for their abounding and refined humor and mellow personal charm and their delicately finished style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A re-publishing of the 1874 bestselling travelogue written by Charles Dudley Warner with added illustrations, photos, reviews & more. This is the book responsible for Alexander Graham Bell coming to Baddeck, Nova Scotia for the first time in 1885. It was just 9 years after the telephone was patented and the young inventor and his wife, Mabel Hubbard Bell were looking for a place to get away from the unwanted attention his fame was bringing where they lived in Washington, D.C. Warner's description of the peaceful Scottish village intrigued the Bells and they serendipitously arrived in Baddeck to see for themselves. Falling in love with the Village of Baddeck and the Island of Cape Breton, they proceeded to establish a second home there. Named Beinn Bhreagh (Beautiful Mountain in Scottish Gaelic) it grew to an estate of 450 acres and was a beehive of activity over the next 37 years. The telephone was just the first of Bell's innovative accomplishments. Before he died in Baddeck in 1922 at age 75, he and his associates achieved many other successes - two of which were the first powered flight in Canada by the Silver Dart in 1909; the fastest boat in the world, his hydrofoil, the HD-4 in 1919. He and his wife are buried on the mountaintop of their estate, Beinn Bhreagh, which is still used and maintained by the Bell family descendants. Baddeck is now the site of a world class museum, the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, run by Parks Canada. The publishers, Deja Vu Press, have gathered a fascinating collection of related pieces - relevant photographs to enhance the original publication, notes on Warner and Twichell's comments and experiences while in Baddeck; reviews of Dudley's book from the days when it was a best seller; a follow up article written 20 years later by famed author and editor, William Webster Ellsworth; numerous Publisher's notes; and a new introduction. An added bonus is the foreword, written by Alexander Graham Bell's great grandson Hugh Muller, who with his wife Jeanne live in retirement at Beinn Bhreagh. As with many of Bell's descendants, they are actively involved in the community, especially the museum. It is a simple fact to state, that, as result of reading Warner's "Baddeck and that sort of thing," the Bells' influence changed Baddeck forever and put its name in the history books.

Book excerpt: The popular image of Alexander Graham Bell is that of an elderly American patriarch, memorable only for his paunch, his Santa Claus beard, and the invention of the telephone. In this magisterial reassessment based on thorough new research, acclaimed biographer Charlotte Gray reveals Bell’s wide-ranging passion for invention and delves into the private life that supported his genius. The child of a speech therapist and a deaf mother, and possessed of superbly acute hearing, Bell developed an early interest in sound. His understanding of how sound waves might relate to electrical waves enabled him to invent the “talking telegraph” be- fore his rivals, even as he undertook a tempestuous courtship of the woman who would become his wife and mainstay. In an intensely competitive age, Bell seemed to shun fame and fortune. Yet many of his innovations—electric heating, using light to transmit sound, electronic mail, composting toilets, the artificial lung—were far ahead of their time. His pioneering ideas about sound, flight, genetics, and even the engineering of complex structures such as stadium roofs still resonate today. This is an essential portrait of an American giant whose innovations revolutionized the modern world.
