Empires of Light: Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse, and the Race to Electrify the World, Jill Jonnes
An extremely detailed and engaging book on how electricity was brought to the United States.
- dbrush 17y agoTesla: Man Out of Time touches a bit on the race between Edison and Tesla. A very good book as well.
- jf 17y agoDoes this book cover the business relationship that Tesla had with Westinghouse? The impression that I got from Empires of Light is that Tesla's "research" needed a lot of "design" by Westinghouse's engineers before they could be turned into practical, working designs. That makes sense at some level, but I'd love to read other perspectives.
