Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the growing concerns surrounding the dangers of gas in homes and cities in the wake of devastating explosions in the late 19th century. Diagramming up-to-date gas piping schemes, the author debunks common misconceptions about the dangers of gas lighting and heating while explaining the limited circumstances under which gas can ignite and explode. The author cautions against the middle to upper class fearmongering of the period that was often based on a desire to eradicate the gas industry altogether. The author asserts that gas is a safe and reliable public utility when used properly. During this period of massive technological advancement, the book provides an opportunity to understand the rising fears of the middle and upper classes concerning the safety of gas utilities and industrialization as a whole.
