		Charles Edison's career in public service was predicated on the proposition that, if democracy was to survive the turbulence caused by economic depression and cataclysmic military conflict, every American had a sacred responsibility to safeguard his freedoms through active participation in the mechanics of democracy--the foundation of which is the regular exercise of the franchise.

	Review -- The Languages of Edison's Light, Charles Bazerman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Despite the considerable publicity Edison generated for his invention, it was not until late 1879 that he was able to demonstrate the incandescent light bulb to his backers, a delay that led to considerable consternation among some investors during the long year between late 1878 and October 22, 1879.
		The theories that underlie his narrative of Edison's achievements are quite diverse and include: speech act theory; actor-network theory; activity theory; and the concept of "heterogeneous engineering," borrowed from technology studies in sociology (which Bazerman appropriates as "heterogeneous symbolic engineering").
		Confronted with the larger-than-life figure of Thomas Edison and the "fl boxes" that Edison's invention quickly became after the inventor won the proprietary right to patent incandescent lighting technology, Bazerman needed the means to investigate the diverse kinds of discursive activity that brought Edison's light into being.
