These breakthrough discoveries show that the vagina, clitoris, and labia—the female sexual centers—are not merely flesh, but directly affect the female brain, and that the female brain directly affects, in newly documented ways, the vagina and female sexual centers. The vagina thus has a fundamental relationship to female consciousness itself. Utterly enthralling and totally fascinating, Vagina draws on this set of insights about the mind-vagina connection to reveal new information about what women really need, on many different levels, and considers what sexual relationships—and a woman\'s relationship to her self, as well as to her own desire and pleasure—transformed by these insights, may look like.A brilliant and nuanced synthesis of physiology, history, and cultural criticism, Vagina explores the physical, political, and spiritual implications for women—and for society as a whole—in this startling series of new scientific breakthroughs from a writer whose conviction and keen intelligence have propelled her works to the tops of bestseller lists, and firmly into the realm of modern classics. The history of the grid, the world\'s largest interconnected power machine that is North America\'s electricity infrastructure.The North American power grid has been called the world\'s largest machine. The grid connects nearly every living soul on the continent Americans rely utterly on the miracle of electrification. In this book, Julie Cohn tells the history of the grid, from early linkages in the 1890s through the grid\'s maturity as a networked infrastructure in the 1980s. She focuses on the strategies and technologies used to control power on the grid—in fact made up of four major networks of interconnected power systems—paying particular attention to the work of engineers and system operators who handled the everyday operations. To do so, she consulted sources that range from the pages of historical trade journals to corporate archives to the papers of her father, Nathan Cohn, who worked in the industry from 1927 to 1989—roughly the period of key power control innovations across North America.Cohn investigates major challenges and major breakthroughs but also the hidden aspects of our electricity infrastructure, both technical and human. She describes the origins of the grid and the growth of interconnection emerging control issues, including difficulties in matching generation and demand on linked systems collaboration and competition against the backdrop of economic depression and government infrastructure investment the effects of World War II on electrification postwar plans for a coast-to-coast grid the northeast blackout of 1965 and the East-West closure of 1967 and renewed efforts at achieving stability and reliability after those two events.
