Democracy in Power : A History of Electrification in the United States
Private money, public good, and the original fight for control of America’s energy industry. Until the 1930s, financial interests dominated electrical power in the United States.That changed with President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal which restructured the industry.The government expanded public ownership, famously through the Tennessee Valley Authority, and promoted a new kind of utility: the rural electric cooperative that brought light and power to millions in the countryside.Since then, public and cooperative utilities have persisted as an alternative to shareholder control.Democracy in Power traces the rise of publicly governed utilities in the twentieth-century electrification of America. Sandeep Vaheesan shows that the path to accountability in America’s power sector was beset by bureaucratic challenges and fierce private resistance.Through a detailed and critical examination of this evolution, Vaheesan offers a blueprint for a publicly led and managed path to decarbonization.Democracy in Power is at once an essential history, a deeply relevant accounting of successes and failures, and a guide on how to avoid repeating past mistakes.

Electromagnetic Ergonomics : From Electrification to a Wireless Society
Ergonomics is the branch of engineering science in which biological science is used to study the relationship between workers and their environments. Because of the use of electricity for many purposes, one environmental factor that has become omnipresent today is the electromagnetic field, also referred to as electromagnetic radiation or a fraction of the non-ionizing radiation.The complex interactions of electromagnetic energy with material objects contribute to ergonomics issues because they can cause health hazards in workers, trigger accidental situations, limit the ability of workers to work safely and disturb the function of electronic devices, including medical implants, etc.A better understanding of complex electromagnetic issues in the work environment is considered in this book. This title will be beneficial to workers affected by electromagnetic hazards including wireless transfer of information or power, wireless (induction) heating, joining metal elements with electric-supplied techniques, capacitive heating of dielectric materials, physiotherapeutic or cosmetic electromagnetic treatments, antitheft gates and other monitoring or control systems using wireless solutions, electric transportation and many more.It will help prevent common misunderstandings about electromagnetic hazards and sufficiently reduce where they appear. Electromagnetic Ergonomics is designed to have a positive influence on public health and worker safety in the work environment and brings broad benefits, in particular with respect to research planning and the interpretation of the results, as well as the implementation of science-based evidence regarding the evaluation and elimination of EMF hazards in the operations of enterprises and environmental, labor and sanitary inspections, as well as government regulators responsible for environmental safety issues in the workplace and the daily life environment.

Lines of Power : The Electrification of British Railways. Trials, Tribulations and Successes
Written by John Buxton and Don Heath, two experienced rail professionals, Lines of Power delivers a comprehensive record of the stuttering progress of electrification and modernisation of Britain’s railway network, exposing the furtive manoeuvring by competing factions within the railway industry during the 1950s. The book is highly critical of the excessive scepticism of the Department of Transport (DoT later DfT) and the frequent disproportionate, and often imprudent, interventions by politicians that have collectively thwarted the opportunity to progress a more comprehensive and cost effective ‘rolling programme’ of electrification.

The Cambridge to King's Lynn Line : 30 Years of Electrification
Winter 1984/5 – the future for the Cambridge–King’s Lynn ‘Fen Line’ looked bleak.British Rail had singled long track sections. There had been closure talk. Yet, following a vigorous three year political and technical campaign, government approval for its electrification was granted in February 1989.Construction work was drawn out and suffered setbacks, so it wasn’t until August 1992 that electric trains finally started operating on the 41-mile-long line.At first passengers were fairly thin on the ground, but as the years progressed growth (fuelled by commuting into Cambridge and, to a lesser extent, London) meant trains gradually became very overcrowded.Extensive works to upgrade the line to take longer trains have now come on stream.As well as a new Cambridge North, there are well-developed plans for other new stations. Concentrating mainly north of Cambridge, this book illustrates the trains that run from Kings Cross and Liverpool Street to Ely and King’s Lynn via Cambridge, many of the types and liveries seen, and the extensive infrastructure works that have taken place over the last thirty-or-so years. Mike Beckett was a strategic planner at King’s Lynn & West Norfolk Borough Council at the time of the electrification campaign.With a personal as well as professional interest in transport, he maintains a photographic record of the line’s many changes and has drawn on his collection to produce this book.

What can be done to counteract electrification?
To counteract electrification, efforts can be made to increase the use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro power. This can help reduce the reliance on fossil fuels for electricity generation, which is a major contributor to electrification. Additionally, energy efficiency measures can be implemented to reduce overall electricity consumption. This can include improving building insulation, using energy-efficient appliances, and promoting energy conservation practices. Finally, policies and regulations can be put in place to incentivize the adoption of electric vehicles and promote sustainable transportation options to reduce the overall demand for electricity.
-
How does electrification occur after electrostatic charging?
Electrification occurs after electrostatic charging when an object gains an imbalance of positive or negative charges. This can happen through the transfer of electrons between objects, causing one to become positively charged and the other to become negatively charged. Once the imbalance of charges is established, the objects become electrified and can exhibit electrostatic forces such as attraction or repulsion. This electrification can be temporary, as the charges may dissipate over time, or it can be maintained through insulation or other means.

What are electricity and high culture history?
Electricity history refers to the development and use of electricity as a form of energy, including the discovery of electricity, the invention of electric devices, and the establishment of electrical systems. High culture history, on the other hand, refers to the history of cultural and artistic achievements that are considered to be of high quality and sophistication, such as classical music, literature, fine arts, and theater. Both electricity and high culture history have evolved over time, shaping the way we live and appreciate the world around us.

What is the difference between low culture and high culture in history?
Low culture refers to the cultural activities and products that are considered to be more common, popular, and easily accessible to the general public. This can include things like popular music, television shows, and mass-produced literature. On the other hand, high culture refers to the cultural activities and products that are considered to be more refined, sophisticated, and often associated with the elite or educated classes. This can include things like classical music, fine art, and literature that is considered to be more intellectually challenging. The distinction between low and high culture has been a source of debate and has evolved over time, but it generally reflects the social and class divisions within a society.

Public Humanities in Architecture : Reflections on Heritage, Culture, and History
Anyone concerned with the history, tradition, and culture of our built environment will sooner or later come across the term ‘Public Humanities’.At the interface between an academic discipline and the media-oriented culture industry, Public Humanities is established as a field of inquiry in the US and is increasingly becoming so in Europe too. Whether this field of research remains a product of Western culture will only become apparent in the coming years.However, linking architectural debate with the humanities is an important concern of the papers collected here. These essays on architectural theory provide academic food for thought while encouraging reflection on the discipline of architecture and stimulating urban design in the twenty-first century.The lectures collected here are from a class on Public Humanities at Brown University.
