Böcker av David E. (Professor Nye

Using Muncie, Indiana, as a touchstone, David Nye explores how electricity seeped into and redefined American culture.

Blackouts-whether they result from military planning, network failure, human error, or terrorism-offer snapshots of electricity's increasingly central role in American society.

An exploration of the dialogue that emerged after 1776 between different visions of what it meant to use new technologies to transform the land.

Nye uses energy as a touchstone to examine the lives of ordinary people engaged in normal activities.
