Description
|
|
|
|
With 1,093 patents to his name, Thomas Edison has more than any other person in history—many of them for things we take for granted today, from the electric light bulb and recorded music to the stock ticker and even motion pictures. This book discusses Edison's entrepreneurial spirit, his many business schemes and publicity events, and of course his most important inventions, and includes a kit for making a moving-picture machine called a Kinetoscope. The book is one in a series for readers 8 to 11 that features fact-filled illustrated biographies of important inventors with model kits of famous inventions.
