PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:
Did you know that Thomas Edison's greatest invention was not, in fact, the lightbulb? In debunking some popular myths about this 20th-century genius, Professor Vincenti argues that the British may have created the electric light, and that Edison's major technological contribution was actually the electric lighting system. This may seem like a fine point, says Vincenti, but it made all the difference in the world. Vincenti also offers fascinating insights into the life and work of the legendary inventor, whose creations laid the groundwork for much of today's technology.
