| 505 | 8 | |a During the second quarter of the nineteenth century, Londoners were enthralled by a strange fluid called electricity. In examining this period, Iwan Morus moves beyond the conventional focus on the celebrated Michael Faraday to discuss other electrical experimenters, who aspired to spectacular public displays of their discoveries. Revealing connections among such diverse fields as scientific lecturing, laboratory research, telegraphic communication, industrial electroplating, patent conventions, and innovative medical therapies, Morus also shows how electrical culture was integrated into a new machine-dominated, consumer society. He sees the history of science as part of the history of production, and emphasizes the labor and material resources needed to make electricity work | |

Princeton University Press [1998] © 1998 1 online resource (xiv, 324 pages) illustrations txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Description based on print version record During the second quarter of the nineteenth century, Londoners were enthralled by a strange fluid called electricity. In examining this period, Iwan Morus moves beyond the conventional focus on the celebrated Michael Faraday to discuss other electrical experimenters, who aspired to spectacular public displays of their discoveries. Revealing connections among such diverse fields as scientific lecturing, laboratory research, telegraphic communication, industrial electroplating, patent conventions, and innovative medical therapies, Morus also shows how electrical culture was integrated into a new machine-dominated, consumer society. He sees the history of science as part of the history of production, and emphasizes the labor and material resources needed to make electricity work The Places of Experiment -- Introduction: Electricity, Experiment, and the Experimental Life The Errors of a Fashionable Man: Michael Faraday and the Royal Institution The Vast Laboratory of Nature: William Sturgeon and Popular Electricity Blending Instruction with Amusement: London's Galleries of Practical Science A Science of Experiment and Observation: The Rise and Fall of the London Electrical Society The Right Arm of God: Electricity and the Experimental Production of Life -- Managing Machine Culture -- Introduction: From Performance to Process They Have No Right to Look for Fame: The Patenting of Electricity To Annihilate Time and Space: The Invention of the Telegraph Geschichte 1800-1850 swd 1800 - 1899 fast Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1800-1850 gnd rswk-swf Elektriciteit gtt Elektrificatie gtt Électricité / Angleterre (GB) / 19e siècle ram Elektrizität swd Sozialer Wandel swd Electricity fast Electricity / Social aspects fast Electrification fast SOCIAL SCIENCE / General bisacsh SCIENCE / History bisacsh Geschichte Gesellschaft Electricity History 19th century Electricity Social aspects England London History 19th century Electrification England London History 19th century Elektrizität (DE-588)4014216-4 gnd rswk-swf Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 gnd rswk-swf London (DE-588)4074335-4 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Elektrizität (DE-588)4014216-4 s Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 s Geschichte 1800-1850 z 1\p DE-604 London (DE-588)4074335-4 g 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Morus, Iwan Rhys, 1964- Frankenstein's children http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=790781 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
