From the frozen waters of the Atlantic to the streets of Hamburg and from the fire of World War II to the interior of the human body, the book "Electric Universe" is a captivating journey of discovery by a skilled author of scientific subjects.
David Bonanis weaves stories of love, divine inspiration, and deception, composing in an understandable way the explanations of significant scientific discoveries. Great researchers come to life with all their brilliance and idiosyncrasies: the visionary Michael Faraday, who fought against the prejudices of the British class system, and Samuel Morse, a painter who, before discovering the telegraph, conducted a pre-election campaign as a candidate for mayor of New York with a program that adopted persecutions against Catholics. And even Alan Turing, whose vision of a wonderfully thinking machine - what we know as a computer - encountered the indifference of his contemporaries.
