4.0 out of 5 stars Slow but Invaluable
Melosi's style leaves much to want, but the content is invaluable for anyone wishing to appreciate the contributions of one of this country's greatest inventors.

3.0 out of 5 stars Thomas A. Edison
This book is essentially unadulterated Edison. Martin Melosi (author) wrote a very very detailed book about one of the great inventors. The book is a little boring, but if you want to learn A LOT about Edison this book is for you. But don't take my word for it...wait actually you should

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time for the reader and poorly written., March 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Thomas A. Edison and the Modernization of America (Library of American Biography Series) (Paperback)
Pedantic and self-important prose mask the significance of Thomas A. Edison in this poorly crafted and ponderous work written by some academic. Don't waste your time.
