Publisher's Synopsis
Este libro, que se publicó originalmente en 1875, aborda dos de las grandes innovaciones tecnológicas que caracterizaron la segunda mitad del siglo XIX: la electricidad y los caminos de hierro. El autor, Manuel Fernández de Castro, es uno de los máximos exponentes del llamado positivismo hispano, corriente filosófica que apostaba por el progreso científico y técnico como vía para la modernización del país. En estas páginas, Fernández de Castro ofrece una exposición rigurosa y accesible de los principios y aplicaciones de la electricidad y su relación con el transporte ferroviario.
