The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Edison's life and work. It covers his early years, his inventions, his business ventures, and his personal life. The book also provides insights into Edison's character and personality, as well as his relationships with his colleagues, friends, and family.Jehl's writing style is engaging and easy to read, and the book is filled with fascinating details and stories that bring Edison and his era to life. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and technology, as well as those who are curious about the life of one of America's most famous inventors. Overall, Menlo Park Reminiscences V3 is a must-read for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of Thomas Edison and his contributions to the world.Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766126471, 076612648X. Volume 3 of 3. (This description is for all volumes.) No more important contribution to the story of pioneer electrical develoment could have been made than the intimate day-by-day details that Mr. Jehl set down in book form, at the suggestion of Mr. Henry Ford. Edison referred to Jehl as one of my old associates and fellow-workers. With the restoration of the original Menlo Park laboratory in Greenfield Village, Dearborn, the memories of those Menlo Park days have been recalled and placed on record in these 'Reminiscences.' These books complete Mr. Jehl's intimate and true story of Edison at the greatest period of his career, those years at Menlo Park whose brilliant exploits gave to the world the Edison universally honored today. The 'Reminiscences' also include a list of the men who assisted in that great work at Menlo Park. With hundreds of rare photographs, this 3 volume set is historically fascinating, scientifically stimulating, and metaphysically enlightening as you read how Edison conceived the idea of inventions and how he brought them into material existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
