Electric Power in Victorian Britain : Volume II: Electric Power in Practice

Omtale

The materials in this volume explore how the transformation of electric power imprinted on the political landscape of Great Britain and the Empire. Outside the lecture halls and laboratories, electric power became a source for inventors, politicians, economists, and the public to explore, define, and lament how energy consumption should look. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this collection will be of great interest to students and scholars of the History of Science.
