FROM
EDISON TO ENRON 
Praeger Press, September 2005 -- $39.95 (including shipping) Also available from: www.praeger.com or national and local booksellers "This
splendid book is as readable as it is rigorous in its fascinating
journey through the creation and evolution of the electricity enterprise.
What sets Munson's work apart is his probing exploration of the
powerful and diverse personalities who collectively shaped what
has become the world's largest and most complex machine. This also
remains a living history as the journey concludes with an insightful
glimpse of the innovative opportunities for electricity's even-more-valuable
future." "From
Edison to Enron is a compact history of U.S. electrical utilities
that demonstrates the urgent need for reform and explains how Americans
can use new technologies to become more efficient, less dependent
on oil imports, and more environmentally responsible. This book
is not only essential reading for anyone who cares about the electric
bill, but also for anyone concerned about what we bequeath the next
generation."
