Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth exploration of the profound shift in American energy usage that took place from 1880 until the first decades of the 20th century. The author examines how the advent of cheap and reliable electricity completely transformed the way people in the US lived, worked, and viewed the night and night-time. The book traces the rise and fall of major inventions and innovations from the first Edison light bulb to the first Hoover vacuum cleaner, as well as illuminating the social and cultural changes wrought by the âelectrical revolution.â By discussing the work of muckraking journalists and early safety activists, the author highlights the ambivalent reactions that accompanied the new technologies. The author concludes that the innovations born during this period indelibly altered the rhythms of American life while cementing electricity's reign as an indispensable part of the modern world.
