📜 Item Description
Step back into the pioneering era of electrical science with this 1918 first edition of Electricity and Magnetism for Engineers by Harold Pender, one of the early leaders in American electrical engineering education. Published by McGraw-Hill, this text guided generations of engineers through the emerging fields of electric and magnetic circuit theory at the dawn of the electrical age.
Pender, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and vice president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, helped shape the technical foundations that powered the industrial and communications revolutions of the early 20th century. This handsome dark-cloth hardcover captures that spirit of discovery and applied science.
Ideal for collectors of early scientific texts, historians of technology, or electrical engineers with a passion for their field’s roots.
