    Pursuing Power and Light : Technology and Physics from James Watt to Albert Einstein, Paperback by Hunt, Bruce J., ISBN 0801893593, ISBN-13 9780801893599, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
    The 19th century was a time of great changes and fast-paced advancement in science and technology. In this book, Hunt (History, University of Texas at Austin) shows how the century's leading technologies--the steam engine, the telegraph, and electric power and lighting--helped reshape modern physics, including the formulation of the laws of thermodynamics and the rise of electrical science. The author has a gift for presenting clear explanations of complex material, making this book eminently suitable for undergraduate courses in the history of science and technology.
