Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electricity at the Paris Exposition of 1889 The official report on the electrical features of the Paris Universal Exposition of 1889 is included among a large number of reports by United States Commissioners to the various departments of the Exposition, and the whole has just been published collectively by the Government. Owing to the very many groups and classes comprised, the publication is not only cumbersome in form, but inconvenient for ready reference and use, and as its circulation will probably be confined chiefly to public and other large libraries, the work will not be readily obtainable by those who desire copies. In offering this volume to the public, the publishers endeavor to meet the wishes of those to whom the collection of official reports will not be accessible, or who desire the complete portion on electricity in a convenient form for reading and reference. Although ready for the press three years ago, this volume could not be published until after the publication of the complete report; most of the matter, however, is of a technical character not affected by the delay. The present volume contains all that portion of the complete report which refers to the department of Electricity, including an account of the work done by the International Congress of Electricians held at the time of the Exposition. The edition is limited to a small number of copies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book April in Paris written by Irena R. Makaryk and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attracting over fifteen million visitors, the 1925 Paris Expo had an ambitious goal to create a new modernist style which would reflect the great scientific, industrial, and technological advances that produced a new spirit known as "modern." In April in Paris, author Irena R. Makaryk explores the theatre arts' vital cultural and political impact at this celebrated international exhibition. Drawing extensively from unexplored archival documents from France, Austria, and North America, April in Paris is the first major study to focus on theatre arts at the 1925 Paris Expo and the audacious Soviet contributions to this fair. Turning a spotlight on the uses and representations of theatricalized spaces, Makaryk analyses their political challenge at a time when relations between the West and the USSR were rife with tension. Copiously illustrated with beautiful colour and black and white illustrations, this book elucidates the complex role of the international fair as a catalyst for spirited cultural debate and for aesthetic change.
Download or read book When They Hid the Fire written by Daniel French and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When They Hid the Fire examines the American social perceptions of electricity as an energy technology that were adopted between the mid-nineteenth and early decades of the twentieth centuries. Arguing that both technical and cultural factors played a role, Daniel French shows how electricity became an invisible and abstract form of energy in American society. As technological advancements allowed for an increasing physical distance between power generation and power consumption, the commodity of electricity became consciously detached from the environmentally destructive fire and coal that produced it. This development, along with cultural forces, led the public to define electricity as mysterious, utopian, and an alternative to nearby fire-based energy sources. With its adoption occurring simultaneously with Progressivism and consumerism, electricity use was encouraged and seen as an integral part of improvement and modernity, leading Americans to culturally construct electricity as unlimited and environmentally inconsequential—a newfound "basic right" of life in the United States.
