Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Selected for J.P. Morgan's 2018 Holiday Reading List.   Imagine your life without the internet. Without phones. Without television. Without sprawling cities. Without the freedom to continue working and playing after the sun goes down. Electricity is at the core of all modern life. It has transformed our society more than any other technology.

Simply Electrifying: The Technology that Transformed the World, from Benjamin Franklin to Elon Musk brings to life the 250-year history of electricity through the stories of the men and women who used it to transform our world: Benjamin Franklin, James Watt, Michael Faraday, Samuel F.B.

Roach, Simply Electrifying marshals, in fascinating narrative detail, the full range of factors that shaped the electricity business over time -- science, technology, law, politics, government regulation, economics, business strategy, and culture -- before looking forward toward the exhilarating prospects for electricity generation and use that will shape our future.…
