Excerpt from Thomas Alva Edison, Sixty Years of an Inventor's Life In the preparation of this book the author has received, and here acknowledges, the invaluable cooperation of many persons who knew Mr. Edison in his younger days, and who cheerfully placed at his service the result of their acquaintance and association with the inventor. To the American Press generally the writer is indebted for much valued assistance, and especially grateful does he feel towards the following: to the Editor of the Electrical Review for permission to incorporate Edison's own account of the circumstances under which he erected the first power-house for the distribution of the electric light; to Mr. W. K. L. Dickson, the consulting electrician; to Mr. J. R. Randolph, private secretary to Mr. Edison, Mr. Frank L. Dyer, chief of the Legal Department, and the late Dr. Wangemann, phonographic expert, for much interesting "inside" information; and also to the Cassier Magazine Company, holders of the copyright, for courteous permission to use certain pictures and to quote from Dickson's "Life of Edison," now out of print. To the inventor himself the writer is grateful for all the time he spent away from his experimental laboratory to give, with his customary cheerfulness and good-nature, much of the personal history which is here recorded.

"An introduction to the genius with a curious mind who loved to experiment and who invented the phonograph, light bulb, movie camera, and numerous other items."--Title page verso.
Thomas Edison passed on many decades ago, but his inventions still echo loudly through time. If you watch TV, listen to your favorite songs, or simply click on the lamp next to your bed, it was Thomas Edison who brought all of these innovations into the world. Inside you will read about... ✓ Edison's Early Life ✓ The Electric Light ✓ The War of the Currents ✓ Other Inventions and Projects ✓ Final Years and Death ✓ Edison's Legacy And much more! Edison is sometimes regarded as someone who loved arguing with other inventors who were going in different directions from him, yet his tenacity and dedication to his own work were what made so many of his inventions workable. No matter which way you look at Edison, from failed businessman, renowned inventor, distant father to his children, or to an argumentative scientist, there is one thing everyone can agree on; Thomas Edison was pure genius. After all, in his world, nothing less would do.
