Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Second Printing [stated]. x, 531, [1] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Some page and edge soiling noted. DJ has some wear, soiling, and edge tears. Neil Baldwin is the author of a variety of books on various topics related to history and culture, and a professor at…Montclair State University. Baldwin earned a B.A. in English from the University of Rochester, and a Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He was the editor of The Niagara Magazine between 1974 and 1982, and worked for the New York Public Library between 1984 and 1989. He was the director of the National Book Foundation from its founding in 1989 until 2003. The genius of America's most prolific inventor, Thomas Edison, is widely acknowledged, and Edison himself has become an almost mythic figure. But how much do we really know about the man who considered deriving rubber from a goldenrod plant as opposed to the genius who gave us electric light? Neil Baldwin gives us a complex portrait of the inventor himself--both myth and man--and a multifaceted account of the intellectual climate of the country he worked in and irrevocably changed. Derived from a Kirkus review: This new biography attempts not only to chronicle Edison's achievements but to set him in the context of his time. Thomas Edison remains, more than 60 years after his death, the quintessential American genius. The electric light alone earned him a central spot in the pantheon of inventors. Add to it the phonograph, motion pictures, and over 1,000 patents for everything from an electric pen to a method for enriching iron ore and his impact is immeasurable. Fiercely competitive, Edison was a workaholic long before the term was invented. He would work 60 hours straight on a project that caught his fancy and frequently juggled four or five ongoing projects at once. His genius for assembling a team of men totally dedicated to his goals--and willing to delegate all the glory to the ``Old Man''--was surpassed only by his genius for promotion. Baldwin presents an Edison more complex than the Horatio Alger template into which his contemporaries wanted to fit his life. Like many eminent Victorians, Edison was a fascinating monster, and Baldwin captures some of both the fascination and the monstrosity.
