Extremely interesting story of how electricity came to power the machinery of America and how AC power became the main thing over DC power. Also includes the stories of Edison, Westinghouse, and Tesla, three important figures involved with electricity. Highly recommended !

Surprisingly good. Did not understand it all but the story behind the building of electricity was captivating.

Again could not understand all of the building terms but the story is unbelievable. It shows the incredible cost in terms of life and money that was spent in buildings that I have always taken for granted. Geez

If you are looking for a highly technical book then this one isn't for you, the book is more about the business and people that made electricity possible today than about explaining how the science works, and that's fine, it was what I was looking for right now, though it wouldn't have hurt a bit more of explanation.
