GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER An American Biography

George Washington Carver was one of the greatest scientists of his era, a period that included Einstein, Curie, and Pasteur. This audiobook revives a biography that was first published in the year of Carver's death, 1943. While it feels dated in some ways, it introduces a new generation to the life of a man who did much to shape our world and its agriculture. Karl T. Wright's narration is clear and evocative, although his accents and pronunciations are sometimes shaky. The text sometimes diverges from strict chronology, and in many places it seems to be based on Carver's personal recollections, rather than strict documentation. Nonetheless, these add to its informal charm. D.M.H. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2024]
