Edison's education is most unique and relevant.
1. The first teacher he had was his mother
2. He found vital lessons and was influenced greatly by the book of R.G. Parker called School of Natural Philosophy
3. Another educating piece he had was a book entitled The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art
His style of learning was though reading books on a variety of subjects, a self-educating environment that fosters independent learning which can be useful through his life.
