Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of artificial light from its earliest human production to the present day, where electricity takes center stage. Starting with oils and fats as fuels, the author traces the development of candles and gas as well as the work of pioneers such as Volta and Davy in the 18th century who first began harnessing electrical energy.
