Electricity

Product Information

This book, which as a medical doctor I found hard to put down, explores the relationship between electricity and life from beginning to end: from the early eighteenth century to today, and from the point of view of the physician, the physicist, and the average person in the street.

The blurb sounded integuing, historical novel about something we take for granted and we're now looking at it in a different way (such as electric powered cars) and how people view it 100 years later, alongside a tale of a 'sensual and spirited' women. In Pulleys Pull Their Weight: Simple Machines for Kids, readers solve the problem of a heavy elephant by learning about forces and how we can increase the amount we can lift simply by using a pulley. Yes, definitely have the very fundamentals down - the equivalent of a day's reading on the fundamentals should be more than enough IMO.Told in the first person, the story paints a vivid picture of life in the 19th century from the point of view of women encompassing all the hardships and restrictions that bound them during this age. She was a single minded feminist albeit a little naive but she never fully faced her freedom until the end of the book when so much unnecessary damage ad been done.

The relationship with her husband Peter came up an abrupt end and the complain of her own disability didn't seem to add anything to the story.We use electricity all the time so it's important children know how it works and where it comes from.

The community thus recreated is one where modernity – its emblem the Electricity of Angus Peter Campbell’s title – collides and overlaps with all sorts of linguistic, cultural and other continuities. A wonderful and warm read that will raise spirits and gladden the heart, and is a reminder that there is no such thing as an ordinary life – every single one is extraordinary.Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy.
