An inspiring lesson in the rewards of dogged perseverance, Inventing the Future also illustrates how Edison's greatest legacy is the research laboratory, where constant experimentation remains the necessary prelude to discovery. Marfe Ferguson Delano's portrait of this quirky original includes clippings from Edison's notebooks and images of the inventor at work–and occasionally at rest.
