Electric Transmission of Water Power

"Electric Transmission of Water Power" by Alton D. Adams is a non-fiction piece that examines how water can be harnessed to create electricity and then sent over distances. The book is targeted toward engineers, scientists, and anyone interested in the history of how we generate power. This book goes over electrical systems that use water to power big cities in North America. It talks about different water power stations and what they can do, showing how important water is for making electricity for cities and how this affects the prices of energy and how it stacks up against other energy sources like coal and gas. This book is very interested in electric power and transmission methods and the costs of different types of systems.
