"If, in the ancient world, it was guns and germs and steel that determined the fates of people and nations, in modern times it is electricity.

This paradox has shaped global politics, affected the outcome of wars, and underlies...

"The story of the invention and use of electricity has often been told before, but never from an environmental point of view. The assumption of safety, and the conviction that electricity has nothing to do with life, are by now so entrenched in the human psyche that new research, and testimony by those who are being injured, are not enough to change the course that society has set. Two increasingly isolated worlds--that inhabited by the majority,...
