Review # 1 was written on 2010-01-13 00:00:00 William Vanderven Amazing to know just one man brought us light, music and movies, an industry still in full bloom. I loved to finally learn how he made it happen.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-01-19 00:00:00 Victor Segal 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.
