Verfasser aut Simply electrifying the technology that transformed the world, from Benjamin Franklin to Elon Musk Craig R. Roach Dallas, TX BenBella Books, Inc. [2017] xvii, 462 Seiten Includes bibliographical references (pages 378-394) and index Looks at the stories of the researchers, innovators, businesspeople, and regulators who shaped how electricity was understood and used, from early researchers like Benjamin Franklin to contemporary innovators like Elon Musk "Electricity is at the core of all modern life. Despite this, the full story of this revolutionary force has remained untold--until now. Simply Electrifying offers the comprehensive story of one of mankind's most important journeys: from a time when only a few could even imagine a world with electricity to today when, for most of us, a world without electricity would be unimaginable. Since the birth of the modern science of electricity 265 years ago, mankind has built an impressive structure to produce, deliver, and use electricity, thanks to a combination of pioneering science, innovative technology, shrewd business strategy, and pervasive economic and environmental regulation. Simply Electrifying brings to life the stories of the people that made it all possible--from early pathfinders like Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein to innovators such as Samuel Morse, Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla. Later on, business strategists and economic and environmental regulation driven by many, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Rachel Carson, and even President Barack Obama, have shaped how we use and understand electricity in crucial ways. Today, Elon Musk and others are on the verge of again changing the way we think about and interact with it. Simply Electrifying is painstakingly researched and beautifully written, showing us how both profit-makers and policy-makers must use a wide-angle lens to truly understand the past and anticipate the future."--Jacket Geschichte gnd Electricity History Electrical engineering History Inventors Biography Elektrizität (DE-588)4014216-4 gnd Elektrotechnik (DE-588)4014390-9 gnd BUSINESS & ECONOMICS Economic History bisacsh BUSINESS & ECONOMICS Industries Energy bisacsh HISTORY Modern bisacsh TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING Electronics Digital bisacsh Electrical engineering fast Electricity fast Inventors fast Biografie gnd-content Biographies fast Biography fast History fast Biographies lcgft u ZN 3130 idslu LR BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 011 IDS LU IDSLU LUUHL LUUHL UHFRE ZN 3130 2017 IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH JK 11279 NELA1001805 IDSLU 100 1- Roach Craig R.
