{"product_id":"natural-genius-chuck-veit-9781387829293","title":"Natural Genius","description":"Based on copious documentation and eyewitness accounts, this is the long-awaited book on the U.S. Navy's first submarine and its designer, Brutus de Villeroi, whose long career of accomplishments as a respected civil engineer was to be capped by his greatest creation, a working submersible for the navy of his adopted nation, with which it could sink the feared rebel ironclad, Virginia. The project did not go as planned, however, and it is difficult to explain the actions of the aging French inventor--actions that led to his dismissal. His boat would be taken over by the Federal Navy and become known as Alligator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chuck Veit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1387829297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781387829293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Chuck Veit","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721300627711,"sku":"9781387829293","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7a9b526-499f-4e53-aaed-98b1ff0802c2.jpg?v=1742752452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/natural-genius-chuck-veit-9781387829293","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
