An African slave teaches a Boston doctor how to protect his community from smallpox. A Massachusetts inventor walks through a radar test room and a bar of chocolate in his pocket melts. An entrepreneur named Goodyear accidentally throws a ball of gummy, sulfurized rubber onto a hot potbellied stove and discovers it has hardened... Inoculation. The microwave. Vulcanization. Behind every innovation is an amazing story. Boston Made is a fascinating look at how Boston became and remains a global center for innovation-told through fifty stories of ideas, inventions, and revolutionary changes that helped create a more equitable, more prosperous, and more interesting world.
