Name Your Price

di Joe R Eagleman (Autore)

Joe R Eagleman, 2024

Joe R. Eagleman, Ph.D. tells in this autobiography about the many facets of his life. His invention of an artificial tornado that extended from the ceiling of his laboratory at the University of Kansas resulted in local interest as well as international filming from a news crew from Japan. It later became the subject of a lawsuit between Universal Studios in Hollywood and the Volvo Company. After he was told by Universal Studios to "Name your price" he became involved in this successful lawsuit. A 50-foot version of his tornado was the main attraction in the Twister Building at Universal Studios Park in Orlando Florida from 1998 to 2015. Another copy of his tornado at the Exploratorium in San Francisco is still one of the main attractions there after having attracted many viewers for decades. It was created with Eagleman's help by Ned Kahn. This autobiography tells of Dr. Eagleman's early life on the farm as one of 12 children who was told by an older brother that he would never amount to anything. He tells of experiences in the one-room rural grade school and of dealing with a bully on the playground. It includes his development as a scientist, artist, musician, luthier, marksman, taxidermist, and other endeavors. His unique journey to becoming a Professor and Research Scientist is described. His career resulted in one who had experiments on Skylab and one who influenced many thousands of students through his teaching and books and who made national changes to tornado safety guidelines.
