Review: Edison
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A comprehensive biography of Thomas Edison,
Morris’ book is rich in technical history and details while offering
little new in understanding the man himself. Perhaps that is as it
should be. Edison seems opaque in many ways, perhaps because he was
increasingly closed in by his deafness. And he seemed less willing to
share himself as a person, even with those he loved, than he was to
share the gifts of his mind and invention with the world.
For
an unfathomable reason, Morris chose to have this biography go
backwards. I cannot determine a scholarly, literary or entertainment
value in doing so and recmmend simply reading the book backwards.

Lifeboat thinking
Just because your side of the lifeboat is dry while the other side is taking on water doesn’t mean you won’t sink too.
