A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Herbert Newton Casson was a Canadian journalist, author, and public speaker whose prolific writing and activism reflected a lifelong engagement with social reform, business innovation, and technology. Born in Odessa, Ontario in 1869, Casson was largely self-educated, eventually attending Victoria College and graduating in theology. Although he was ordained as a Methodist minister, his career in the church was short-lived after he was tried for heresy and chose to leave the ministry. Relocating to Boston in the 1890s, he became active in labor and socialist movements, co-founding a Labor Church and participating in progressive causes alongside figures such as Keir Hardie and Samuel Gompers. He later helped establish Ruskin College at Oxford. As a journalist, Casson worked for major newspapers in New York, interviewing leading political and technological figures of his time, including presidents and inventors. His work increasingly focused on industrial efficiency, leading him to write extensively on business, industry, and innovation. Casson authored over 160 books, including influential titles like The Romance of Steel and History of the Telephone. He spent his later years in England, lecturing and writing until his death in 1951.
