How did we go from that curious effect to a world where screens respond to a single touch? And how did we get from mysterious sparks to tiny chips packed with billions of transistors?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, electricity puzzled and fascinated those who encountered its curious effects-long before it even had a name. From the earliest observations of static charge to the complex electronics that shape our lives today, this book traces the gradual, and often surprising, story of how humanity came to understand and harness this powerful force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book offers an engaging and accessible account of the people, ideas, and inventions that transformed electricity from a scientific curiosity into the foundation of our digital age. Along the way, you'll meet a host of inquisitive minds-some famous, others less so-whose persistence and creativity helped unravel the mysteries of the natural world and gave rise to the technologies we now take for granted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovering everything from Leyden jars and batteries to transistors, microcontrollers and the internet, this book presents a clear and enjoyable overview of electronics and its relatively short, yet rich, history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you have a technical background or simply a curiosity about how things work, From Rubbing Amber to Swiping Glass offers a thoughtful look at how far we've come-and a gentle nudge to wonder what might come next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eClemens Valens is an electronics engineer and writer with a keen interest in the history and development of technology. Based in France, he draws on his technical background to explore how electronics have shaped the modern world. When he's not reading datasheets or writing about resistors, he enjoys making music, spending time with his cats (and also his friends and family), and pondering the curious path from sparks to circuits.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Hardcover), Englisch, 163 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65820923199837,"sku":"K098418493","price":34.8,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/9841849300001A.jpg?v=1788634816","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/from-rubbing-amber-to-swiping-glass-clemens-valens","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
