Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The voice of the man who turned on the lights for the world'Edison dispensed his opinions on every topic from microbes to the meaning of life.'Thomas Graham, author of Flaglers St. Augustine Hotels'Michele Albion gives us a treat by carefully peeling back time and history to expose Thomas Edisons complex, and beautiful natural wood grain. You will laugh, ponder, and ruminate about the great man and his views; and his observations about life, technology and the future. It certainly is an interesting read.'John P. Keegan, president and chair of the Charles Edison Fund, Edison Innovation Foundation'In times when the phrase technowizard means the latest Web sensation, the greatest wizard of them all comes to life again in this collection.'Joy Wallace Dickinson, author of Remembering OrlandoThomas Edison was the 'Wizard of Menlo Park.' A prolific inventor and holder of numerous patents, he was also called a 'magician,' 'the Napoleon of Science,' and the 'Inventor of the Age.' But he was also a practical joker, a selfmade man with a certain disdain for polite society, an ambitious explorer, and a public intellectual.The Quotable Edison offers a wealth of his insightful, enlightening, and sometimes humorous comments and witticisms on a wide range of subjects, from business to politics, from religion to nutrition, from advice to boys to opinions on womens clothing.Famous for his dictum that 'Genius is one percent inspiration, ninetynine percent perspiration,' Edison offered many other gems. On religion, 'Satan is the scarecrow of the religious cornfield.' On the English, 'The English are not an inventive people; they dont eat enough pie.' On work and business, 'Ive been working two shifts most of my life. Lots of other men work two shifts too, but [they] devote the other one to poker.' On the law, 'A lawsuit is the suicide of time.'And his reported final words: 'Its very beautiful over there.'Michele Wehrwein Albion, curator of the Edison and Ford Winter Estates from 1992 to 1997 and former curatorial staff at the United States Holocaust Museum, is the author of The Florida Life of Thomas Edison.She lives in Dover, New Hampshire.
