The Washington Post : ‘Birdseye: The Adventures of a Curious Man’ by Mark Kurlansky (June 08, 2012)

In “Birdseye,” Mark Kurlansky’s brisk account of the man’s galvanic trajectory, we are reminded that American ingenuity has often relied less on a classroom than on insatiable curiosity and a well-lit garage.
