Présentation de l'éditeur

These biographies are packed with information, and filled unique images that include rare documentary photographs, artwork, maps and personal artefacts. Focusing on inventors and innovative thinkers who transformed the world, they present first-person accounts and dramatic events related in an intimate and accessible style. Includes helpful sidebars, timelines and glossary definitions. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. That was Thomas Edisons philosophy, and it led him to create the incandescent light bulb and illuminate the world with electricity. But that was just one of the many groundbreaking inventions Edison devised, many of which changed the shape of entertainment, industry, and everyday life. Meet the Wizard of Menlo Park, and see how he grew from a lonely, inquisitive boy who carried out experiments in his basement to the smart, enterprising, and imaginative inventor who gave us the stock market ticker, helped develop the phonograph and cinema, and even came up with the first storage battery and electric car.
