The major
innovations that Land was able to
achieve in
photography & optics carry
priceless lessons for
readers today. Second only to Edison in the number of
patents he received (535), Land built a modest enterprise into a gigantic ''invention factory,'' turning out not only polarizers & the first instant cameras, but also high-speed & X-ray film, ID systems, 3-D & instant movies, & military devices for night vision & aerial reconnaissance. As a scientist, Land developed a new theory of color vision; as a science advisor to Eisenhower during the Cold War he spearheaded the development of the U-2 spy plane & helped design NASA. ''A heroic biography.''.
