ELECTRIC LIFE HC (C: 0-1-2)

Billions of years before the invention of the light bulb, natural electricity was already shaping our world. From subatomic particles to the solar system we're all part of, electromagnetic forces have long formed the building blocks of reality as we know it. Yet the full extent of their impact is only just beginning to come to light. Electric Life invites readers on a breathtaking journey into this unseen world, revealing how electricity and magnetism affect not only us humans but also our planet and the universe at large: How does lightning influence communication among fish? Can plant electricity be translated into music? Do Earth and the sun charge the moon like a solar battery? Does your heart's magnetic field surround your entire body? Can the electrical properties of microbes be used to heal our bodies, or even reverse environmental damage? With a fresh perspective and an accessible tone, Electric Life breaks down recent scientific advances and emerging technologies to answer these questions and more.
