4.0 out of 5 stars Finally the truth about Thomas Edison., 4 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This book reveals the Thomas Edison you didn't learn about in elementary school. It is insightful and intelligently written. Edison claimed that invention was 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. This book makes it look more like 1 percent inspiration, 10 percent perspiration, 20 percent public relations, and 69 percent luck. If you are satisfied with Edison the myth, don't read this book. If you seek the truth (perhaps in too much detail) this is for you. To my mind, the real Edison is far more interesting than the one Mrs. Goldberg taught me about in fifth grade.
