Description:"In the beginning there was the electron, unseen, unnamed, its presence recognized only by tiny forces exerted at a distance." With these words, the authors launch their narrative of the development of electrical engineering. It is a story both of the technical developments and the people behind them. And it is told by both words and pictures.The setting is the engineering and scientific world over the years, with emphasis on the United States. The time span is two centuries, although attention is focused on the past hundred years. The story is particularly rich in characters -- Faraday, Edison, Steinmetz, Tesla, Marconi, Babbage, Armstrong, plus many others from the past as well as from the present. And the plot is concerned with electrical engineering in all its aspects, including power, communications, entertainment electronics, and computers.The chapter titles give an idea of how the plot is developed:* In the Beginning* Discovery and Invention* From Electricians to Engineers* Maxwell's Prophecy Fulfilled* The Electron Sings a Golden Tune* The Electron Shows Its Muscle* Electrons and Holes: Much from Little* Electrons in War and Peace* All the World Becomes a Stage* Computers and the Information Revolution* Young Engineers and Their Elders* AIEEE + IRE + IEEEAs several of the chapter titles suggest, coverage is not limited to technical subjects, but nontechnical matters such as professionalism and education also receive attention.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Engineers and Electrons: A Century of Electrical Progress.
