In the mid-1880s Thomas Edison built a house and laboratory in Fort Myers. This book describes his life and work in Florida, and explains how this ""green laboratory"" became a centre of invention for the next 40 years, as Edison was inspired by the natural world he discovered in Florida.

In 1885, America's greatest inventor, the "wizard" of electricity and Yankee industrialization, established a second home in Florida. Unlike the many wealthy turn-of-the century vacationers who descended on Florida's tourist cities to unwind and escape, Thomas Edison chose a "cow town" in the Florida outback. In this first book devoted to Edison's life and work in Fort Myers, Thulesius reveals Edison the nature lover and medicine man. He traces Edison's first trips to Florida for simple health reasons and then follows Edison's expanding interest in the natural world, his camping trips with John Burroughs, his opposition to the exotic bird trade for the millinery business, his fascination with sponges, and his late experiments with hybridization of rubber and goldenrod. Thulesius also explores the relationship with Fort Myers neighbor Henry Ford, the visits from Henry Firestone Fine Hardcover in a Fine Dust Jacket. N° de réf. du vendeur 16246
