""For me, a Jacuzzi is a person, not a machine. A Jacuzzi is a member of my family," writes engineer and entrepreneur Remo Jacuzzi, author of this epic memoir of his astonishingly enterprising family, thirteen brothers and sisters and their many descendants." "Popularly known for their invention of whirlpool hydrotherapy for home use, during the last century these immigrants from Italy also revolutionized the airplane industry and remade the landscape of America with their injector water pumps." "Though they had their share of conflict and personal loss, three generations of the Jacuzzi family made major contributions to their adopted country and the modern world. This saga follows them through three wars, three continents, breakthrough innovations, and the heartbreaking sale of Jacuzzi Brothers, Inc., along with their name." "Now the head of his own hydrotherapy company, Jason International, Inc., Remo Jacuzzi writes with extraordinary compassion, affection, and pride about his now enormous extended family, which has distinguished itself in enterprises and professions throughout the globe. Mr. Jacuzzi has spent many years assembling the fascinating details of this chronicle, both through intense research and interviews with his many relatives and associates."--BOOK JACKET.
