reviewed Power Makers: Steam, Electricity, and the Men Who Invented Modern America on March 05, 2020 Power Makers: Steam, Electricity, and the Men Who Invented Modern America
Hands-down the best, most engaging, history of the development of steam power and electricity generation one can imagine. I've read biographies of Watt, Edison, and Tesla, along with many other energy books, but this one pulls all the threads together to show how the technologies for producing, distributing, and making use of electricity aligned and made possible our modern electrical grid.
