Описание: George Westinghouse became known as one of the most prolific inventors and businessmen of the Industrial Revolution. In this biography, get to know the man whose teachers suspected was mentally disabled and quit college after one semester, yet founded more than 60 companies employing 50,000 people and received 361 US patents.
Описание: Engaging with Victorian scientific texts, popular and specialist periodicals and the work of leading mid-century novelists, including Charles Dickens, Charlotte Bronte and Wilkie Collins, Stella Pratt-Smith traces the synthesis of nineteenth-century electricity made possible by the combination of science, literature and the popular imagination.

Описание: The biography of Nikola Tesla, known as the father of modern electricity.
Описание: In 1910, E. T. Whittaker wrote "A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity," which gave a very detailed account of the aether theories from Ren Descartes to Hendrik Lorentz, and which made Whittaker a respected historian of science. Though the book was a "History," Whittaker showed his own brilliance in his exposition of relativity. (Fully illustrated)

Описание:
First published in St. Petersburg in 1759, F.U.T. Aepinus's Tenuimen theoriae electricilatis el magnetismi was one of the outstanding achievements of eighteenth-century physics. Its rigorous mathematical investigation of electricity and magnetism was an important and innovative departure from the primarily qualitative and nonmathematical treatments that preceded it. P. J. Connor's translation of the original Latin edition is the first to appear in any western European language, and the introductory monograph and notes by R. W. Home provide a far more definitive account of Aepinus's life and work than has heretofore been attempted.
Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
During the second quarter of the nineteenth century, Londoners were enthralled by a strange fluid called electricity. In examining this period, Iwan Morus moves beyond the conventional focus on the celebrated Michael Faraday to discuss other electrical experimenters, who aspired to spectacular public displays of their discoveries. Revealing connections among such diverse fields as scientific lecturing, laboratory research, telegraphic communication, industrial electroplating, patent conventions, and innovative medical therapies, Morus also shows how electrical culture was integrated into a new machine-dominated, consumer society. He sees the history of science as part of the history of production, and emphasizes the labor and material resources needed to make electricity work.
Frankenstein's Children explains that Faraday, with his colleagues at the Royal Society and the Royal Institution, looked at science as the province of a highly trained elite, who presented their abstract picture of nature only to select groups. The book contrasts Faraday's views with those of other practitioners, to whom science was a practical, skill-based activity open to all. In venues such as the Galleries of Practical Science, electrical phenomena were presented to a public less distinguished but no less enthusiastic and curious than Faraday's audiences. William Sturgeon, for instance, emphasized building apparatus and exhibiting electrical phenomena, while chemists, instrument-makers, and popular lecturers supported the London Electrical Society. These previously little studied electricians contributed much to the birth of Frankenstein's children--the not completely benign effects of electricity on a new consumer world.

Описание: This two-volume work, published in 1900-6, contains copious technical detail regarding the early history of the motor car. Drawing on his engineering background, William Worby Beaumont (1848-1929) describes the design, construction and operation of the earliest mechanically propelled vehicles. Technical drawings and photographs greatly enhanced the work.

Описание: Although Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) is best known now for his work in chemistry, he was also dedicated to promoting the investigation of electricity - a topic often overlooked by his contemporaries. In this 1767 work, he explores the history of electrical study from ancient Greece to the most recent experiments.
