Críticas:
"A technological odyssey complete with heroes and villains, triumph and tragedy--a true scientific adventure." --Simon Singh, author of Big Bang "Though science is omnipresent in Electric Universe, it's only part of the literary equation. Living, breathing, laughing, loving, vainglorious, extraordinarily gifted humans get plenty of ink as well." --Chicago Sun-Times "Anyone who has considered the inner workings of a computer (or even a toaster) would get a charge out of Bodanis's history of electricity. . . . [He] adds more than a touch of drama to his lucid and informative science lessons." --Entertainment Weekly "Hugely impressive. No one makes complex science more fascinating and accessible--and indeed more pleasurable--than David Bodanis." --Bill Bryson

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The bestselling author of E=mc2 weaves tales of romance, divine inspiration, and fraud through an account of the invisible force that permeates our universeelectricityand introduces us to the virtuoso scientists who plumbed its secrets. For centuries, electricity was seen as little more than a curious property of certain substances that sparked when rubbed. Then, in the 1790s, Alessandro Volta began the scientific investigation that ignited an explosion of knowledge and invention. The force that once seemed inconsequential was revealed to be responsible for everything from the structure of the atom to the functioning of our brains. In harnessing its power, we have created a world of wonderscomplete with roller coasters and radar, computer networks and psychopharmaceuticals.In Electric Universe, the great discoverers come to life in all their brilliance and idiosyncrasy, including the visionary Michael Faraday, who struggled against the prejudices of the British class system, and Samuel Morse, a painter who, before inventing the telegraph, ran for mayor of New York City on a platform of persecuting Catholics. Here too is Alan Turing, whose dream of a marvelous thinking machinewhat we know as the computerwas met with indifference, and who ended his life in despair after British authorities forced him to undergo experimental treatments to cure his homosexuality. From the frigid waters of the Atlantic to the streets of Hamburg during a World War II firestorm to the interior of the human body, Electric Universe is a mesmerizing journey of discovery. "Supernova" author Bodanis embarks on a mesmerizing journey of discovery about the awe-inspiring force known as electricity--taking readers from Hamburg cellars during a World War II firestorm to the interior of the human body.
