- Synopsis
- Gain insight into the unique thinking and philosophy of the world&’s most prolific inventor with this collection of his writings.American scientist and businessman Thomas Edison contributed much to the well-being and comfort of our modern life. He gave us the electric light, the phonograph, and the motion-picture camera, along with more than one thousand other inventions. Edison was, as fellow inventor Guglielmo Marconi put it, &“one of the world&’s greatest benefactors.&” In this volume, editor Dagobert D. Runes presents Edison&’s diary along with a selection of his social and philosophical ideas taken from available notes, statements, and observations. Readers will discover that many of Edison&’s casual remarks made decades ago have a definite contemporary significance. His propositions in ethics, philosophy, music, and education show a rare combination of whimsy and deep sincerity.
