When They Hid the Fire (eBook, ePUB)

A History of Electricity and Invisible Energy in America

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Daniel French examines the American social perceptions of electricity as an energy technology between the mid-19th and early decades of the 20th centuries. Arguing that both technical and cultural factors played a role, French shows how electricity became an invisible and abstract form of energy in American society, leading Americans to culturally construct electricity as unlimited and environmentally inconsequentiala newfound "basic right" of life in the United States.
