Urban Forests: A Natural History of Trees and People… por Jill Jonnes
This is a history book and I love history book. It ends up ranging around the world to explain how our urban forest is made of the trees we find today. Good read.
Extremely interesting story of how electricity came to power the machinery of America and how AC power became the main thing over DC power. Also includes the stories of Edison, Westinghouse, and Tesla, three important figures involved with electricity. Highly recommended !
Surprisingly good. Did not understand it all but the story behind the building of electricity was captivating.
Again could not understand all of the building terms but the story is unbelievable. It shows the incredible cost in terms of life and money that was spent in buildings that I have always taken for granted. Geez
