Reader Reviews:The best biography of Edison so far (4/4 people found this helpful)This is the first biography of Edison with real details about how he and his co-workers carried out the process of invention. The best previous Edison biography (Neil Baldwin's Edison: Inventing the Century (1995)) contains many interesting personal anecdotes but lacks the sort of research and development details required by a technically oriented reader. Paul Israel's scholarly work is a much needed addition to the history of technology. CategoriesAmazon.co.uk places this book into the following categories:
