he Story
of Electricity was written to tell people how our
present knowledge of it grew up. Prospective readers
may fall into three categories. First those with an
Arts background and no knowledge of Science.
Secondly those with a background of Science outside
Physics. And thirdly those with a background of
Physics, but have no knowledge of the history of
electricity. To accommodate all three of these
categories the book has been written with no
mathematics. The order of presentation is
chronological. Thus in B.C. times the effects of
magnetism were of commercial importance for sea
voyaging. But today the ubiquity of radio has
emphasised the greater importance of electricity.
Since historically advances have been made largely
by individuals, their family and religious
backgrounds have been recorded as important factors
in their contributions. Following World War II this
situation has been reversed, because of the funding
requirements of global markets. But future progress
may again revert to individuals.

Physical science studies the 'hardware' component of
nature; mystics contemplate the 'software'
component. It is now necessary to integrate the two
worldviews.
