Resumen del Editor
Do you want to think like the man who perfected his mind, thoughts, and focus? Well...then you need to learn more about the great inventor Thomas Edison.
Thomas Alva Edison, one of the world’s greatest inventors, was born in Milan, a little canal town in Erie County, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. On his father’s side, he was descended from an excellent family of Dutch millers. They lived in New Netherland but eventually moved to New Jersey in the year 1737.
As a boy, he was already showing signs of genius. Even during playtime, he showed the mechanical turn of his mind by building plank roads, digging caves, and exploring the banks of the canal. However, playtime was soon to be finished and exchanged for massive work, for, when he was only seven years old, a depression in commercial affairs caused his father to lose a lot of his wealth and become poorer. As a result, he had to leave his home in Milan which was very dear to him. He took his family to live in the town of Port Huron, Michigan. Due to the financial struggles, Edison was just a boy when he had to work to earn a living. Although the situation was tough, it didn’t stop Edison from continuously improving his mind however he could, such as by reading.
In Detroit, when he was just a boy, he found his treasure in the Free Library. He was absolutely delighted with the sight of countless books in front of him. He used to read in the library in his free time. A thought passed his mind to read the entire library, taking the books one at a time. He stuck at nothing, reading straight on, and had actually read through 15 feet of books before others discovered what he was about and checked his proceedings.
Learn more about the life, mind, and thought pattern of this great inventor by listening to this audiobook!

His good friend Mark Twain dubbed him "St. Andrew." British Prime Minister William Gladstone called him an "example" for the wealthy. Such terms seldom apply to multimillionaires. But Andrew Carnegie was no run-of-the-mill steel magnate. At age 13 and full of dreams, he sailed from his native Dunfermline, Scotland, to America. Here, in one volume, are two impressive works by Andrew Carnegie himself: his autobiography and The Gospel of Wealth, a groundbreaking manifesto on the duty of the wealthy to give back to society all of their fortunes.

Yet, as recognizable as the bridge is, its builder is too often forgotten - and his life is of interest far beyond his chosen field. It is the story of immigrants, of the frontier, of the greatest crisis in American history, and of the making of the modern world.

Historia
In the mid- to late-19th century, a burgeoning science called electricity promised to shine new light on a rousing nation. Inventive and ambitious minds were hard at work. Soon that spark was fanned, and a war was under way to be the first to light - and run - the world with electricity. Thomas Alva Edison, the inventor of direct current (DC), engaged in a brutal battle with Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, the inventors of alternating current (AC). There would be no ties in this race - only a winner and a loser - and the prize was a nationwide monopoly in electric current.

Historia
The Gilded Age is the collaborative work of Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner that satirized the era that followed the Civil War. This period is often referred to as the “Gilded Age” because of this book. The corruption and greed that was typical of the time is exemplified through two fictional narratives: one, of the Hawkins, a poor family from Tennessee that tries to persuade the government to purchase their seventy-five thousand acres of unimproved land.

The Victorian Internet tells the colorful story of the telegraph's creation and remarkable impact and of the visionaries, oddballs, and eccentrics who pioneered it, from eighteenth-century French scientist Jean-Antoine Nollet to Samuel F. B. Morse and Thomas Edison. The electric telegraph nullified distance and shrank the world quicker and further than ever before or since, and its story mirrors and predicts that of the Internet in numerous ways.

Historia
Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.

Historia
What Is Man? appears in the form of a Socratic dialogue between a romantic young idealist and an elderly cynic, who debate issues of mankind, such as whether man is free to act or is more of a machine, whether personal merit is meaningless given how the environment shapes us, and whether man truly has impulses other than to pursue pleasure and avoid pain.

In a story that is both of its time and timeless, Evan I. Schwartz tells a tale of genius versus greed, innocence versus deceit, and independent brilliance versus corporate arrogance. Many men have laid claim to the title "father of television," but Philo T. Farnsworth is the true genius behind what may be the most influential invention of our time. Driven by his obsession to demonstrate his idea, by the age of 20 Farnsworth was operating his own laboratory above a garage in San Francisco and filing for patents. The resulting publicity caught the attention of RCA tycoon David Sarnoff, who became determined to control television in the same way he monopolized radio.
