Edison: His Life and Inventions

Autor

Thomas Commerford Martin (1856-1924) was an influential electrical engineer and editor who significantly contributed to the dissemination of electrical knowledge during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in London, he later moved to the United States, where he became a prominent figure in the engineering community. Martin was the editor of the 'Electrical World,' a seminal publication in the field, and he was deeply involved with the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, serving as its president. His literary contributions include penning the comprehensive biography 'Edison: His Life and Inventions' (1910), co-authored with Frank Lewis Dyer. This work offers an intimate portrayal of the iconic inventor Thomas Alva Edison and has been an invaluable resource for historians. Martin's scholarly style blended meticulous research with an easily accessible narrative, making technical subjects comprehensible to a broad audience. His efforts to chronicle the achievements of Edison and his timeless impact on the field of electrical engineering remain significant to this day. Martin is remembered not only for his editorial and professional accomplishments but also for his role in chronicling the evolution of electrical technology at a pivotal time in history.
