Edison A Biography


Regarded as the classic standard biography on Thomas Edison. It is the only biography written in the last 40 years to be recommended by the official voice of the caretakers of the Edison Laboratory National Monument in New Jersey which houses all of Edison's original records, sketches, notes, correspondence and memoranda. Depicts Edison as a pivotal figure in America's economic and industrial revolution success and at the same time as a human being, including his exploitative and, at times, crude qualities.

Described as biographical writing of the highest order, Matthew Josephson's biography of the "Wizard of Menlo Park" is as valid today as it was at its initial publication 30 years ago. Scholars at the Edison Papers describe it as the single best account of Edison available, and this edition features a new introduction by the Editor of the Papers.
