This book was written in appreciation of the more than 15 million men and women that work in the electrical industry to keep the lights burning, every second, every minute, 24 hours a day, everyday. Did Edison invent the light bulb, Marconi the radio, Bell the telephone, Morse the telegraph? The answers are No. They didn't invent the wheel. They were instrumental in making it better and in some cases obtaining the patent. Electrical history goes back before Christ and brings us to the computer age. Along this journey you will discover, it took several people along the way to make the light bulb glow.
