    <body><![CDATA[This book charts the history of electricity from its discovery to the current day. It shows how, along the way, the understanding of the nature of electricity grew from a stream of electrons gushing through a wire to the current perception of it. For each stage, Bodanis, the author, gives amusing ac...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4626792">more...</a>]]></body>
