“Reinventing Edison: Build your own Light Bulb” Reading List and Bibliography
"Reinventing Edison: Build your own Light Bulb" is a science kit that integrates invention and history alongside science, technology, and math. Part of the creative process of designing our science kits is to do asmuch research as possible into the history of the invention and the inventor as well as the science behindthe invention. To that end we have collected and read the following books relating to Edison, the ElectricLight, and Invention in general.Many of these books are out of print, or are rare but you still may find them at your local library, used bookstore, via eBay, or via used books sold on Amazon.com and other websites.There have been hundreds of books written about Edison and the invention of the Light Bulb, so if you havea favorite please feel free to share by commenting to this list as posted on our Face Book Fan Page at:http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=139103823032More resources relating to Reinventing Edison will be posted to our website in the Fall of 2009 and are alsoavailable at our Face Book Fan Page.
