In the 19th century, scientists working with chemistry and magnetism began discovering
a rich variety of electrical phenomena. These were to be applied later in inventions including motors,
alternating current, radio, batteries, the telephone, and much more. This is the story of a new branch
of science that changed the way the world does physical work and the way it controls information,
spurring the Industrial Revolution, followed by the Information Age.

The Science and Discovery series recreates history's four thousand year journey to better understand the
world through scientific means. Scientific discovery has often disrupted conventional wisdom. This is a
story of vested interests and independent thinkers, experiments and theories, change and progress.

Audio books, unlike ordinary books, are a lot more useful and time efficient in the long run. To sit down and read a book can be a very enjoyable experience but unfortunately only when time permits. A lot of us therefore find us putting aside the books for more pressing matters, with audio books however you can do both. Audio books give you the freedom to listen anywhere, just by simply putting it on a MP3 player. For most book fanatics space is a real issue and usually their houses end up looking like a library. Since audiobooks are portable and in music file format such as Mp3 or WMA the space that’s really being used up is your hard drive which takes up a minuscule amount in comparison. So for the busy individual where free time is somewhat of a luxury, audio books may just be the solution you have been looking for, a way to combine free time and work effortlessly.
