Lienhard captures the energetic transformation of early 20th-century America, where technological innovation and cultural shifts defined the era. The book explores how the spirit of risk-taking and hands-on creativity, embodied by figures like Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, and Katherine Stinson, propelled advancements from aviation to skyscrapers. Lienhard examines how the rediscovery of mystery through X-Rays, quantum mechanics, and relativity theory ignited a sense of limitless potential. Blending his personal experiences with broader historical narratives, Lienhard offers an engaging and detailed mosaic of a time marked by modernist ideals, from Fritz Lang's Metropolis to the roadside culture of Burma Shave and Kerouac. The book serves as an homage to a hopeful age of innovation that laid the groundwork for modern America. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers -50VG022825K3
