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.

Imagination, dynamism, entrepreneurial brilliance - never before had one of its citizens been so prodigiously gifted. For Edison himself, these gifts were nothing less than the means to achieve the spiritual manifest destiny of the United States. It had fallen to him, as remarkable an inventor as he was a shrewd businessman, not only to define the meaning of progress, but then to chart the path by which he would lead the country toward it. And a the end of that journey lay the technological revolution of the ...
