Book excerpt: Excerpt from Submarine Telegraphs: Their History, Construction, and Working; Founded in Part on Wunschendorff's "Traite De Telegraphie Sous-Marine" And Compiled From Authoritative and Exclusive Sources Shortly before his death, the late Mr Willoughby Smith gave us an interesting narrative of his extensive experiences, under title The Rise and Extension of Submarine Telegraphy (london: I. S. Virtue and but this is more in the nature of an autobiography of that distinguished pioneer. Again, within the same month of the same year the late Mr Robert Sabine and Mr Edward Bright, brought out works on The Electric Telegraph, treating the subject in its more general sense - the work of the latter author being a revision of one of Dr Lardner's now classic volumes entitled The Museum of Science and Art.

Download or read book Submarine Telegraphs Their History Construction and Working written by Sir Charles Bright and published by Beaufort Books. This book was released on 1974 with total page 874 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1850 a submarine cable was laid between England and France. After an initial failure in 1857 and several more defeats during the early 1860s, the first completely successful laying of a telecommunication cable between Valentia, Ireland and Heart's Content Bay in Newfoundland took place in 1866. This constituted one of the greatest and most important scientific achievements in an age of many rapid and far-reaching technological advancements. Charles Bright was the chief engineer of the early Atlantic cable-laying firms. His professional account of the early history of failure and eventual triumph in this endeavor covers all aspects of the tremendously complex project. The author's comprehensive and detailed coverage is strengthened by a profusion of contemporary engravings.

Book excerpt: Here is an often cited panoramic history of the telegraph which discusses the principal telegraph firms and the key persons within them. Throughout his work, Reid stresses the business and economic aspects of marketing this remarkable scientific invention. The importance of The Telegraph in America as a classic reference in the field is under-scored by the fact that the author was active in telegraphy throughout the period he discusses. He thus had a personal knowledge of persons and events under examination.

Book excerpt: From the best-selling, award-winning author of 1491 and 1493--an incisive portrait of the two little-known twentieth-century scientists, Norman Borlaug and William Vogt, whose diametrically opposed views shaped our ideas about the environment, laying the groundwork for how people in the twenty-first century will choose to live in tomorrow's world. In forty years, Earth's population will reach ten billion. Can our world support that? What kind of world will it be? Those answering these questions generally fall into two deeply divided groups--Wizards and Prophets, as Charles Mann calls them in this balanced, authoritative, nonpolemical new book. The Prophets, he explains, follow William Vogt, a founding environmentalist who believed that in using more than our planet has to give, our prosperity will lead us to ruin. Cut back! was his mantra. Otherwise everyone will lose! The Wizards are the heirs of Norman Borlaug, whose research, in effect, wrangled the world in service to our species to produce modern high-yield crops that then saved millions from starvation. Innovate! was Borlaug's cry. Only in that way can everyone win! Mann delves into these diverging viewpoints to assess the four great challenges humanity faces--food, water, energy, climate change--grounding each in historical context and weighing the options for the future. With our civilization on the line, the author's insightful analysis is an essential addition to the urgent conversation about how our children will fare on an increasingly crowded Earth.
