Electric Universe : The shocking true story of electricity
by David Bodanis
Reprint : 308 pages. (kor ver- 382)
This is something of a sequel to E=mc2, taking another powerful scientific idea, and tracing it through individual biographies. It shows electricity powering our civilization, and our minds. The book won the Royal Society's Aventis Prize, for science Book of the Year in 2006.
David Bodanis has had several careers. As an academic he lectured at the University of Oxford for many years, where he designed and taught the university’s main survey of social studies, entitled ‘An Intellectual Tool-Kit’. As an author he's written several best-sellers, on topics ranging from history to popular science; as a business consultant, he's worked with a number of leading firms in Europe and America.
Born in Chicago, he has lived in France and England most of his adult life. A single parent, he has two children, and lives in London.
두권으로 이루어진 것이라는 걸 책을 대여한 후 알게 되었다. 뭐 크게 중요한 건 아니지만, 이 책 또한 재미있게 읽고 있다. 아주 쉽게 접근할 수 있으므로, 나에겐 재미있다~ 전기에 대해 좀더 알기 쉽게 쓴 책이라고 보면 된다. 시대의 흐름또한 곁들이면서~ 전기에 대해 무지하거나 관심밖인 사람들도 쉽게 읽을 만한 책인 것 같다.
