Flash of Genius And Other True Stories of Invention by John Seabrook, staff writer for The New Yorker, is a collection of true stories about where great ideas come from, and is the basis for the Major Motion Picture starring Greg Kinnear releasing October 2008.
John Seabrook is one of America's finest non-fiction writers....Fascinating, entertaining, beautifully written and often poignant...--Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation Where Do Great Ideas Come From? In Flash of Genius, John Seabrook explores the moment when inspiration strikes in an otherwise average life, and what happens when that idea moves out into the larger culture and takes on a life--and commercial possibilities--of its own. The title piece in this collection is the David v. Goliath story of Bob Kearns, a professor and inventor who came up with something we all use every chance we get: the intermittent windshield wiper. When Kearns' patents were infringed, he fought General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, and eventually prevailed in a classic American story of never giving up, never backing down. Seabrook has been fascinated by stories of invention and entrepreneurship since childhood, when he grew up with an uncle who invented something as ubiquitous as Bob Kearns' wipers: boil-in-bag vegetables. In Flash of Genius, Seabrook also writes about his family's invention and about thirteen other iconoclastic visions that turned into the stuff of every day.Binding Type: Paperback

“Holy Sun Protection, Batman! This Stuff Works!” 🦇🦸♂️
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The COOLA Organic Sunscreen SPF 50 Sunblock is the real deal. It goes on smooth, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave behind that greasy, chalky layer most sunscreens do. I put it to the test during a full day outdoors, and it held strong—no burns, no irritation, just solid protection.
What makes it even better is the formula: not overloaded with harsh chemicals, but still highly effective. It feels more like skincare than sunscreen, which makes reapplying far less of a chore.
If Batman and Robin swapped their capes for beach towels, this would be the sunblock in their utility belts—powerful protection, clean ingredients, and a formula that actually works when the heat is on. 🦇☀️
Would you like me to also create short funny one-liner summaries for each review (like quick taglines), so you have both the full review and a quick punchy line to use?
