Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do record players, batteries, and movie cameras have in common? All these devices were created by the man known as The Wizard of Menlo Park: Thomas Edison. Edison is most famous for inventing the incandescent lightbulb, but at his landmark laboratories in Menlo Park & West Orange, New Jersey, he also developed many other staples of modern technology. Despite many failures, Edison persevered. And good for that, because it would be very difficult to go through a day without using one of his life-changing inventions. In this enlightening book, Gene Barretta enters the laboratories of one of America's most important inventors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wizard from the start, Thomas Edison had a thirst for knowledge, taste for mischief, and hunger for discovery—but his success was made possible by his boundless energy. At age fourteen he coined his personal motto: “The More to do, the more to be done,” and then went out and did: picking up skills and knowledge at every turn. When learning about things that existed wasn't enough, he dreamed up new inventions to improve the world. From humble beginnings as a farmer’s son, selling newspapers on trains and reading through public libraries shelf by shelf, Tom began his inventing career as a boy and became a legend as a man.

Download or read book Thomas Edison: Success and Innovation through Failure written by Ian Wills and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a systematic approach to the role of failure in innovation, using the laboratory notebooks of America's most successful inventor, Thomas Edison. It argues that Edison's active pursuit of failure and innovative uses of failure as a tool were crucial to his success. From this the author argues that not only should we expect innovations to fail but that there are good reasons to want them to fail. Using Edison's laboratory notebooks, written as he worked and before he knew the outcome we see the many false starts, wrong directions and failures that he worked through on his way to producing revolutionary inventions. While Edison's strengths in exploiting failure made him the icon of American inventors, they could also be liabilities when he moved from one field to another. Not only is this book of value to readers with an interest in the history of technology and American invention, its insights are important to those who seek to innovate and to those who employ and finance them.

Download or read book Thomas A. Edison and the Modernization of America written by Martin V. Melosi and published by Addison-Wesley Longman. This book was released on 2008 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas A. Edison and the Modernization of America is a captivating narrative which chronicles America's most formidable inventor and contributor to modern technology. Martin Melosi creates a dynamic historical narrative by relating Edison's personal history to larger cultural, political and economic trends. Melosi adeptly reveals the workings of Edison's mind as well as his inventions' lasting affect on the nation. Historians have often designated robber barons and large trusts as the face of the rapid economic and technological advances of the Gilded Age. However, this book exposes students to a more refreshing look at America's economic history, placing the inventor above the banker. The titles in the Library of American Biography Series make ideal supplements for American History Survey courses or other courses in American history where figures in history are explored. Paperback, brief, and inexpensive, each interpretive biography in this series focuses on a figure whose actions and ideas significantly influenced the course of American history and national life. In addition, each biography relates the life of its subject to the broader themes and developments of the times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Edison, one of the world's greatest inventors, is introduced in this fascinating activity book. Children will learn how Edison ushered in an astounding age of invention with his unique way of looking at things and refusal to be satisfied with only one solution to a problem. This book helps inspire kids to be inventors and scientists, as well as persevere with their own ideas. Activities allow children to try Edison's experiments themselves, with activities such as making a puppet dance using static electricity, manufacturing a switch for electric current, constructing a telegraph machine, manipulating sound waves, building an electrical circuit to test for conductors and insulators, making a zoetrope, and testing a dandelion for latex. In addition to his inventions and experiments, the book explores Edison's life outside of science, including his relationship with inventor Nikola Tesla, his rivalry with George Westinghouse, and his friendship with Henry Ford. A time line, glossary, and lists of supply sources, places to visit, and websites for further exploration complement this activity book.

Download or read book Thomas Alva Edison written by Wyn Wachhorst and published by Mit Press. This book was released on 1983-03 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been countless biographies of Edison the man, detailing the course of his life and describing his inventions. The subject of this book is larger than life: Edison the Myth, Edison the Hero. It traces the transmutations of Edison's image in the eyes of his countrymen as the ideal embodiment of American values and virtues: hard work, perseverance, the gospel of technological progress, the mythology of the self-made man, individualism, optimism, practicality mingled with idealism. To the American public in the late nineteenth century, Edison was the Wizard, the archetypal Scientist, and finally the Creator. Many journalistic accounts of the period evoke the Promethean and Faustian legends, depicting Edison as the bringer of light from on high, the worker of miracles designed to delight and ease the life of the common man. Not long after the turn of the century, however, many Americans began to feel that life had gone soft, that material comforts&-many of them made possible by Edison's own inventions&-were eroding character, that the individual could no longer make his voice heard above the drone of the mass society as he could in the good old days when pastoral values were still supreme. Accordingly, the author notes that the mythic image of Edison changed: The young Tom Edison was seen as the All-American Boy (the spunky Tom Sawyer, the handy Tom Swift) who by his own efforts and perseverance overcame great odds to achieve adult success&-the self-made man who didn't forget where he came from and retained his social consciousness&-the rugged individualist who had to struggle in the laboratory and in life, but who, on his own, made a difference and had more than 1000 patents to prove it. The book concludes by suggesting that the Edison legacy has now shifted from the myth to the man himself and that &"the man who remains is finally greater than the myth.&" The author interprets Edison from today's perspective as the real and symbolic figure who led us from the First into the Second Industrial Revolution in which communication overtook transportation and the consumer outstripped the producer in status. Edison and his dynamo &"stand as transitional symbols between the brute snort of the locomotive and the soft dissonance of the computer.&"
