Turning Point Inventions: The Lightbulb
Turning Point Inventions: The Lightbulb
Written by: Joseph Wallace
"This engaging book begins by describing life without light bulbs. It then recounts Thomas Edison’s fascinating experiments as he met the challenge to create a simple, light-weight, movable, smokeless, noiseless, cheap, steady, and bright source of light. Several foldouts show details of lightbulb development."
