Edison presents, in intimate detail, one of history's most prolific inventors, and perhaps America's first celebrity.

Enhanced with audio and video, this deluxe edition is a unique introduction to the man who helped engineer the modern world. Leonard DeGraaf, archivist for the Thomas Edison National Historical Park, chronicles Edison's life and work, making lively and lavish use of never-before-published primary sources, including Edison's personal and business correspondence, lab notebooks, drawings, and advertising material, along with both historic and modern photographs.
NOTE: The rich selection of multimedia content makes this enhanced ebook a large file. If you have difficulty downloading this ebook, you may have to archive other books to allow sufficient space.
