Produktinformationen zu „Nineteenth-Century Energies (ePub)“

Exploring nineteenth-century perceptions of 'energy', this book speaks to the roots of many current global concerns about how 'energy' is used, renewed, and dispersed. With contributors exploring topics including the rise of insomnia as a recognized ailment, the role of guns and gun culture in the perception of human agency, the first uses of the barometer to predict massive cyclonic weather systems, and the hallucinatory effects of radiant energy in early film, this book provides a truly interdisciplinary study cultural perceptions of energy in the nineteenth century. This book was originally published as a special issue of Nineteenth-Century Contexts.
