Awarded the Dexter Prize by the Society for the History of Technology, this book offers a comparative history of the evolution of modern electric power systems. It described large-scale technological change and demonstrates that technology cannot be understood unless placed in a cultural context.

When Thomas Edison began wiring New York City with a direct current electricity distribution system in the 1880s, he gave humankind the magic of electric light, heat, and power; in the process, though, he inadvertently opened a Pandora's Box of unimaginable illness and death. Dirty Electricity tells the story of Dr. Samuel Milham, the scientist who first alerted the world about the frightening link between occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and human disease. Milham takes readers through his early years and education, following the twisting path that led to his discovery that most of the twentieth century diseases of civilization, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and suicide, are caused by electromagnetic field exposure. Dr. Milham warns that because of the recent proliferation of radio frequency radiation from cell phones and towers, terrestrial antennas, Wi-Fi and Wi-max systems, broadband internet over power lines, and personal electronic equipment, we may be facing a looming epidemic of morbidity and mortality. In Dirty Electricity, he reveals the steps we must take, personally and as a society, to coexist with this marvelous but dangerous technology.

Excerpt from Railroad Electrification and the Electric Locomotive: Outline of Principles Involved in Railroad Electrification; A Comparison of Steam and Electric Locomotives; History of Electrification in United States; Data on Electrification in America, Europe and AustraliaThe reliability Of Operation of the electric locomotive, and its flexibility of control, have been proved and the advantages that may be expected from el/ectric operation are well known. Electric locomotives are operating successfully over a length of continuous line 440 lines long and during 24 consecutive hours a single locomotive has been able to attain a mileage of 766 miles, while the monthly mileage has reached the high figure Of more than miles. The economy in fuel con sumption per unit of power delivered at the drawbar will become Of increasing importance as available fuel resources decrease.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book examines the development of electric traction from overhead catenerary on Australian and New Zealand railways from the 1910s to the 1990s. It describes the basics of electric traction, examines the routes that have been selected for electrification, the reasons behind the decisions, and looks at the locomotives and multiple units that have been developed for use over these routes. Over 100 photos in full color, 47 in black and white, plus several maps and scale drawings make this an essential reference work for anyone interested in Australian and New Zealand railways and their motive power.

Let There Be Light is the story of the humble beginnings, the early struggles, and the ultimate triumph of the electric cooperative idea in Kentucky. Much of the story is told by the individuals who lived it–men and women who recall the years of work to create the electric companies, and today’s cooperative leaders who carry on a tradition that has changed the landscape of the Commonwealth ending the drudgery of former days.

Cloth with dust jacket, 192 pages, 8.5x11"; 321 photos; maps and drawings, timetables, bibliography, index. "Through the rugged Western mountains of Montana, Idaho and Washington, the Milwaukee Road electrification powered heavy-duty railroading in a challenging environment. Richard Steinheimer's classic interpretive photographs and stories have no peer as an account of what the men and machines of this operation were like. This famous book now is back in print in a second edition. "For nearly 60 years, the orange and black locomotives of the Milwaukee Road's western electrified lines wheeled tonnage freights and deluxe passenger trains up and over the tortuous grades of the Bitterroot and Cascade mountain ranges. From its inception, this pioneer mainline railroad electrification project proved to the world that heavy service utilization of long-distance electric railway technology was one possible vision of railroading's bright future. "Richard Steinheimer is the Dean of railroad photographers in the American West. Born in 1929, he began photography as part of his boyhood interest in trains in Glendale, California, starting out with a 127 Baby Brownie Special in the mid-1940s. He soon was taking distinctive photographs which were recognized across the United States and beyond as among the finest being created by any railroad photographer. "In his career, he has become well known throughout the photographic and railfan worlds, and his emphasis on railroads of the West has yielded numerous publications in magazines and books, as well as his own volumes, Backwoods Railroads of the West and Western Trains, and co-authored volumes such as Growing Up With Trains, Diesels Over Donner, and Whistles Across the Land. He has also been the subject of two books, Done Honest & True, and A Passion for Trains. In 1983 the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society presented him their first-ever Senior Achievement Award in Photography.
