Franklin's kite, Davenport 's electromagnet, Morse's telegraph, Cyrus Field's transatlantic cable, and Edison's phonograph are but a few of the achievements Davis discusses. Explaining the science in lucid prose, Fleet Fire conveys the arc of discovery during one of the most creative epochs in the history of mankind. 1 Kg.

Small ding to top edge of front board. Lawrence James "L. J." Davis was a journalist and novelist who wrote about money and business, technology, the Industrial Revolution and his beloved Brooklyn, often with wry or sardonic humor. He was a contributing editor, The New York Times Magazine, New York and The New Republic, among other publications. "Fleet Fire: Thomas Edison and the Pioneers of the Electric Revolution" chronicled the harnessing of electricity, the first of a planned series of books about the Industrial Revolution. Derived from a Kirkus review: This is an anecdotally rich, eminently entertaining tale of how fluorescent bulbs, boom boxes, and other fruits of electricity came into being. He notes, for instance, that Franklin was indeed more than a little annoyed that the learned societies of London had failed for years to respond to his voluminous theories on electricity, so much so that he determined to do something truly memorable to demonstrate that he knew whereof he spoke. Franklin was one of many experimenters and natural philosophers at work divining the mysteries of electricity during the appropriately named Enlightenment, and Davis pays homage to them and their successors, from Humphry Davy to Thomas Alva Edison. Davis notes, Edison was a master of vertical integration, and his development of not just parts of the grid but the entire system made the "Electric Revolution" a part of everyday life. A pleasure for students of technological history.
