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.“[This] accessible and informative account [is] a worthy successor to Barretta's other men-and-ideas books.” ―The New York Times“A glowing tribute to the inventor who continues to influence modern life.” ―Kirkus, starred
