Download or read book Cyrus Field's Big Dream written by Mary Morton Cowan and published by Boyds Mills Press. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NSTA Best STEM Book Explore the extraordinary achievement of Cyrus Field and one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century: laying a transatlantic telegraph cable to create instant communication between two continents. Cyrus Field had a big dream to connect North America and the United Kingdom with a telegraph line, which would enable instant communication. In the mid-1800s, no one knew if it was possible. That didn't dissuade Cyrus, who set out to learn about undersea cables and built a network of influential people to raise money and create interest in his project. Cyrus experienced numerous setbacks: many years of delays and failed attempts, millions of dollars lost, suspected sabotage, technological problems, and more. But Cyrus did not give up and forged ahead, ultimately realizing his dream in the summer of 1866. Mary Morton Cowan brilliantly captures Cyrus's life and his steadfast determination to achieve his dream.

Book Synopsis A Thread Across the Ocean by : John Steele Gordon
Download or read book A Thread Across the Ocean written by John Steele Gordon and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 8 January 1815, British troops fought the Americans in the Battle of New Orleans. In a battle lasting half an hour, the British suffered casualties totalling 2,036. It remains the worst defeat in the whole long history of the British Army. But this terrible battle did not affect the outcome of the war - for one simple reason. Two weeks previously a peace treaty had been signed in the Netherlands. Today, in a world in which news flashes around the globe in an instant, the sort of time lags experienced then are almost inconceivable. This is largely due to a group of Victorian entrepreneurs who fought to realize a dream that would revolutionize communication for ever. They wanted to lay an electric cable across the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The endeavour joined together the greatest minds on both sides of the ocean including Samuel Morse and Isambard Kingdom Brunel. A THREAD ACROSS THE OCEAN tells the story of this epic struggle as stray vessels, whales, the fiercest storms the Atlantic had seen in many years, all proved obstacles in laying the cable. It was a struggle that would require a decade of effort and millions of dollars in capital as well as uncommon physical, financial, and intellectual courage. But when they succeeded these men had changed the world.

Download or read book Wiring the World written by Simone M. Müller and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The successful laying of a transatlantic cable in 1866 remade world communications. A message could travel across the ocean in minutes, shrinking the space between continents, cultures, and nations. An eclectic group of engineers, entrepreneurs, politicians, and media visionaries then developed this technology into a telecommunications system that spread a particular vision of civilization—but not everyone wanted to wire the world the same way. Wiring the World is a cultural and social history that explores how the large Anglo-American cable companies won out over alternative visions. Bitter rivalries emerged over telegram prices, visions for world peace, scientific innovation, and the role of the nation-state. Such struggles determined the growth of cable technology, which in turn influenced world history. Filled with fascinating characters and new insights into pivotal events, Wiring the World traces globalization's diverse paths and close ties to business and politics.
