Reseña del editor:
A technological odyssey complete with heroes and villains, triumph and tragedy - a true scientific adventure (Simon Singh, author of BIG BANG and FERMAT'S LAST THEOREM)
Bodanis unpeels these layers of the electrical onion expertly; his writing is vigorous and sometimes ecstatic . . . ELECTRIC UNIVERSE is a high-voltage performance (DAILY MAIL)
A compelling, fast-paced read (OBSERVER)
For centuries, electricity was viewed 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, transforming our world. 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. A superb storyteller, Bodanis weaves tales of romance, divine inspiration, and fraud through lucid accounts of scientific breakthrough. 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 Alexander Graham Bell, driven to invent by his love for a young deaf student. From the cold waters of the Atlantic, to the streets of Hamburg during a World War II firestorm and the interior of the human body, Electric Universe is a mesmerizing journey of discovery by a master science writer.

Descripción Paperback. Electricity is an amazingly powerful force. Communicating through rippling, invisible waves it both connects the stars and races down the nerve-signals in our brains. Electric Universe takes us from the laying of the first telegraph lines to the first use of radio waves; from radar and the Hamburg cellars during a Second World War firestorm to modern mobile phones and lap-top computers. From Newton and Faraday to James Clerk Maxwell and Alan Turing, exceptional individuals have pushed the boundaries of physics and shaped modernity. Part social history and part biography this is a remarkable history of science - a brilliant, uplifting narrative about how aspiration becomes progress - and is set to propel David Bodanis to the top of the bestseller lists once again.
