The story of the development of artificial light in the 19th century is not only a history of its technology but a revelation of how that technology helped forge modern consciousness. The range of subjects includes the political symbolism of streetlamps, the rise of nightlife and the shop window, and the importance of the salon in the bourgeois culture. Very Highly Recommended.
about the deregulation of utilities, the role of lighting in crime control, the growing attraction of self-sufficient rural life and the social function of the theater. That is no mean feat for 227 pages. (New York Times Book Review
