This is one of a series which looks at the development of scientific thought and discovery through the lives and achievements of some of the world's great scientists. Focusing on the life and times of Thomas Edison, this book traces his development from young experimenter to accomplished inventor and mature businessman. A schoolteacher described Edison as backward, but great powers of determination and use of his wits led to his patenting of over 1000 inventions, including the phonograph, the electric light bulb and an improvement to Bell's telephone.
