| Summary: | "From phones to lightbulbs to electric cars, electricity is something we can't live without! Breaking down concepts like atoms, current, and magnetism, acclaimed author-illustrator Don Brown demonstrates how our world became connected by electricity. Brown highlights key inventors and scientific breakthroughs, including Benjamin Franklin's famous experiment using a kite as a lightning rod (don't try it at home!), the dramatic rivalry behind the creation of the first battery (which inspired Frankenstein), and Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison's War of the Currents. Narrated by Jagadish Chandra Bose, a pioneer in radio technology, All Charged Up! is a fascinating story of tireless experimentation, accidental discovery, and inspiring human progress"--Back cover. |
