Readers interested in technological history, as well as those interested in the business of innovation, will find Dalzell's book a rich mine., "Readers interested in technological history, as well as those interested in the business of innovation, will find Dalzell's book a rich mine." IEEE History Center Newsletter, "Readers interested in technological history, as well as those interested in thebusiness of innovation, will find Dalzell's book a rich mine." IEEE History CenterNewsletter, "Dalzell's biography of one of America's great innovators, a leader of the electrical revolution, is fascinating and gripping. Frank J. Sprague changed urban rail transportation from horse drawn to electrical in 1884-1890 by means of invention, manufacturing, demonstration, and corporate financing. Further, he made possible electrical elevators in skyscrapers and in due course helped perfect the urban transportation systems serving today's metropolises. His name belongs with those of Edison, Bell, Westinghouse, Thompson, and Tesla." -Leo L. Beranek, author of Riding the Waves: A Life in Sound, Science, and Industry
