Hardcover. Condition: New. The father of fiber optics, Narinder Singh Kapany was far more than your typical multi-hyphenate. Inventor, art collector, sculptor, farmer, entrepreneur, teacher, and a successful businessman, Dr Kapany was what Fortune magazine in its 1999 issue called, 'one of the seven unsung heroes of the 20th century'. An insightful and inspirational life story, this memoir chronicles his ninety remarkable years. Charming, idiosyncratic, and highly engaging, The Man who Bent Light serves up enough variety and verve to celebrate the lives of a half dozen individuals. But there is only one Narinder Singh Kapany, and his life, illuminated in his singular memoir, is a life like no other.

"The definition was good enough to read large print, but the color was green, and light loos was so great as to make long fiber bundles impractical. Nevertheless, it was flexible and did transmit an image, and that was enough to set one dreaming. -Basli Hirschowitz, recalling his first look into a bundle made by Harold Horace Hopkins (1918-1994) and Narinder Singh Kapany (1926- )."
