Thomas Edison and the Light Bulb

By Benjamin Proudfit

Book Overview

Thomas Edison was a brilliant inventor. He received over 1,000 patents throughout his life! But he is, perhaps, best known as the inventor--or more accurately, improver--of the light bulb. What's more, he developed a system to bring electric light to entire buildings, and then cities! In this succinct volume, readers encounter the genius of Edison's electric light bulb as well as his early life and other important inventions of his, such as the phonograph. Carefully chosen images complement the achievable text and age-appropriate details.
