Negative Positive
Title: Thought-provoking, but lacking accuracy at times
Review: This book immediately caught my eye because of the clear printing and fascinating photographs taken about a century ago in and around U.S. schools (juxtaposed with modern photographs, in color, of school scenes). Unfortunately, the author was sloppy with facts. Specifically, the book states "Thomas Edison invented electricity in 1879". Aside from the fact that electricity is a natural phenomenon studied by Ben Franklin and many others a century earlier, the author does not correctly note that Edison invented the electric LIGHT bulb.
Is the review positive or negative?
