商品描述: Explore the extraordinary achievement of Cyrus Field and one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century: laying a transatlantic telegraph cable to create instant communication between two continents.Cyrus Field had a big dream to connect North America and the United Kingdom with a telegraph line, which would enable instant communication. In the mid-1800s, no one knew if it was possible. That didn't dissuade Cyrus, who set out to learn about undersea cables and built a network of influential people to raise money and create interest in his project. Cyrus experienced numerous setbacks: many years of delays and failed attempts, millions of dollars lost, suspected sabotage, technological problems, and more. But Cyrus did not give up and forged ahead, ultimately realizing his dream in the summer of 1866. Mary Morton Cowan brilliantly captures Cyrus's life and his steadfast determination to achieve his dream.探索赛勒斯·菲尔德的非凡成就和19世纪最伟大的工程壮举之一:铺设跨大西洋电报电缆,在两大洲之间建立即时通信。Cyrus Field有一个伟大的梦想,那就是用电报线连接北美和英国,这将实现即时通信。在19世纪中期,没有人知道这是否可能。这并没有阻止赛勒斯,他开始学习海底电缆,并建立了一个有影响力的人网络,以筹集资金并对他的项目产生兴趣。赛勒斯经历了无数挫折:多年的拖延和失败的尝试,数百万美元的损失,疑似蓄意破坏,技术问题,等等。但赛勒斯并没有放弃,而是勇往直前,最终在1866年夏天实现了他的梦想。玛丽·莫顿·考恩出色地捕捉到了赛勒斯的生活和他实现梦想的坚定决心。
