This site is an attempt to reconstruct, in fine-grained detail, the path taken by Alexander Graham Bell, with links to other inventors and ideas. Click on the buttons at the top of the page to begin to explore this growing resource, whose initial development was funded, in part, by a grant from the History and Philosophy of Science program of the National Science Foundation. Pending further funding, this site remains woefully incomplete: your comments are most welcome.
