Our electric power systems provide the "life blood'' of energy that enables the industrial production, communication, labor saving, and lifestyle to which we have grown accustomed. It has lead to an amazing increase in the economic strength and wealth of the United States. The National Academy of Engineering called the development of our national electric grid "the most important technical development of the twentieth century." In the historically accurate Superpower, Jack Casazza tells the story of the twentieth century and those who put the technical pieces together to form the world's best electric power system. Casazza explores the roles of the many individuals involved in power companies, government, and universities, and illustrates the steps needed to solve the types of problems involved.
