Electric Savvy by Blaine C. Readler is a very interesting take on electricity. The book chronicles electricity-not just the different components, but also the history.
Electric Savvy delves into every appliance, AC, etc. in your home. Readler does so in a manner that both the expert and the layman can understand and comprehend. You will read about amps, voltage, etc. Electric Savvy clarifies some misinformation about electricity, its origin and who and why were instrumental in its discovery.
Throughout Electric Savvy you will notice footnotes. Do not overlook them. They are not your average footnotes, but an entire element of the book that you don't want to miss. There are stories, sidelines and little extras that add so much to the book. Readler reveals a lot about his writing style and the "feel" he wants the reader to get through these footnotes.
Electric Savvy is a very comprehensive account of electricity written in a unique and understandable manner.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how interesting Readler has made electricity.
Good Read!!
