|" Pursuing Power and Light is the best and most up-to-date treatment, especially for undergraduates, of the key concepts and figures of 19th-century physics." (Robert Friedel Physics Today)

In the nineteenth century, science and technology developed a close and continuing relationship. The most important advancements in physics―the science of energy and the theory of the electromagnetic field―were deeply rooted in the new technologies of the steam engine, the telegraph, and electric power and light. Bruce J. Hunt here explores how the leading technologies of the industrial age helped reshape modern physics.

This period marked a watershed in how...
