Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the incredible story of Cyrus Field's efforts to connect the Old and New Worlds by laying the first transatlantic telegraph cable, a daring endeavor that would forever alter global communication. Despite the author's initial enthusiasm and the support of eminent scientists and engineers, the first two attempts to lay the cable failed due to technical difficulties and unforeseen challenges. However, Field's unwavering determination and the development of improved technology led to the eventual success of the third expedition, establishing the crucial telegraph link between Europe and North America. The book not only narrates the challenges and triumphs of this technological feat but also explores the broader historical context of the project, its profound impact on international relations, and the lasting legacy of Field's pioneering spirit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781527711242_0
