Synopsis
The electrical grid--named the greatest engineering achievement of the 20th century--goes everywhere and is the largest and most complex machine ever made. Yet things can, and do, go wrong. At a time when energy issues loom large, "The Grid" is as timely as it is compelling., The electrical grid goes everywhere -- it's the largest and most complex machine ever made. Yet the system is built in such a way that the bigger it gets, the more inevitable its collapse. Named the greatest engineering achievement of the 20th century by the National Academy of Engineering, the electrical grid is the largest industrial investment in the history of humankind. It reaches into your home, snakes its way to your bedroom, and climbs right up into the lamp next to your pillow. At times, it almost seems alive, like some enormous circulatory system that pumps life to big cities and the most remote rural areas. Constructed of intricately interdependent components, the grid operates on a rapidly shrinking margin for error. Things can -- and do -- go wrong in this system, no matter how many preventive steps we take. Just look at the colossal 2003 blackout, when 50 million Americans lost power due to a simple error at a power plant in Ohio; or the one a month later, which blacked out 57 million Italians. And these two combined don't even compare to the 2001 outage in India, which affected 226 million people. The Grid is the first history of the electrical grid intended for general readers, and it comes at a time when we badly need such a guide. As we get more and more dependent on electricity to perform even the most mundane daily tasks, the grid's inevitable shortcomings will take a toll on populations around the globe. At a moment when energy issues loom large on the nation's agenda and our hunger for electricity grows, The Grid is as timely as it is compelling., The electrical grid goes everywhere--it's the largest and most complex machine ever made.

- w***g (170)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufExcellent communication. I needed this item shipped immediately and the seller was able to do that. The packaging was exceptional and the bowl was just as described. I was on vacation and broke a bowl in the condo and needed to replace it before I left. The seller understood my situation and shipped this to me at the complex where I was vacationing. It was a great value and the expedited shipping was reasonable. Highly recommend this seller!!

I ended up getting 2 of my crockpots back in service. The crockpot liners were very well packaged. Great communication and fast shipping. Both liners were in good shape and very clean as described. Both were good prices. I am very happy with my purchase.Rival Crock Pot Slow Cooker 2 Quart Replacement Stoneware Insert 8.5" Black (Nr. 286432275106)
