More AC/DC

Despite the fact that my father is an electrician, the study of electricity never made much sense to me in school. I get easily confused by things I can't necessarily see.

My next book was fun nonetheless. AC/DC: The savage tale of the first standards war by Tom McNichol is a fun book about the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed. If you're a fan of Discovery Channel or History Channel, you've probably heard some about the controversy between alternating and direct current, but if you don't, this is the book to read! The topic may sound dull to some, but just wait till you read about all then animal experimentation.

I could recommend this to anyone. It's short and sweet. 3
