Description
Book SynopsisThe sheer diversity of material offered here refreshingly transcends any exclusive restriction to Edisonia.-British Journal for the History of Science
Trade Review"A choplicking feast for future Edison biographers - well into the next century, and perhaps beyond." - Washington Post "His lucidity comes through everywhere... His writing and drawing come together as a single, vigorous thought process." - New York Times "In the pages of this volume Edison the man, his work, and his times come alive... A delight to browse through or to read carefully." - Science "Beyond its status as the resource for Edison studies, providing a near inexhaustible supply of scholarly fodder, this series... will surely become a model for such projects in the future... The sheer diversity of material offered here refreshingly transcends any exclusive restriction to Edisonia." - British Journal for the History of Science"
