Description of  The Electric War Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse, and the Race to Light the World [Audiobook]

Narrated by Greg Tremblay In the mid- to late-19th century, a burgeoning science called electricity promised to shine new light on a rousing nation. Inventive and ambitious minds were hard at work. Soon that spark was fanned, and a fiery war was under way to be the first to light - and run - the world with electricity. Thomas Alva Edison, the inventor of direct current (DC), engaged in a brutal battle with Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, the inventors of alternating current (AC). There would be no ties in this race - only a winner and a loser - and the prize was a nationwide monopoly in electric current. Brimming with action, suspense, and rich historical information, this rousing account reveals the true story behind one of the world's defining scientific competitions.English | 2019 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B07M95W858 | Duration: 5:33 h | 152 MB Mike Winchell
