Description:
The extraordinary, unknown story of two giants of American history-Henry Ford and Thomas Edison-and their attempt to create an electric-powered city of tomorrow on the Tennessee River




During the roaring twenties, two of the most revered and influential men in American business proposed to transform one of the country's poorest regions into a dream technological metropolis, a shining paradise of small farms, giant factories, and sparkling laboratories. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison's "Detroit of the South" would be ten times the size of Manhattan, powered by renewable energy, and free of air pollution. And it would reshape American society, introducing mass commuting by car, use a new kind of currency called "energy dollars," and have the added benefit (from Ford and Edison's view) of crippling the growth of socialism.


The whole audacious scheme almost came off, with Southerners rallying to support what became known as the Ford Plan. But while some saw it as a way to conjure the future and reinvent the South, others saw it as one of the biggest land swindles of all time. They were all true.

Electric City is a rich chronicle of the time and the social backdrop, and offers a fresh look at the lives of the two men who almost saw the project to fruition, the forces that came to oppose them, and what rose in its stead: a new kind of public corporation called the Tennessee Valley Authority, one of the greatest achievements of the New Deal. This is a history for a wide audience, including readers interested in American history, technology, politics, and the future.

Sandles
Size: 5, Color: French Sand
Love the shoes so pretty but, the strap hurts my little toe but today was first time wearing so I'm hoping I just got to wear them a few times and break them in.. A friend has a pair and she loves them. She said they are very comfortable.

Do recommend
Size: 9, Color: French Sand
Obsessed with these shoes! They are the perfect classic nude heel. I hate the thick heel on a lot of nude shoes and this one is so different in the best way. It looks like a stiletto from the side, but as we know you get much more support. I think you do get your value for the money you spent, these were expensive but they are long-term durable heels. They are comfortable and the sizing is accurate. I’m a 9 and they fit me perfectly.

Beautiful comfortable heel
Size: 7, Color: Amber Gold
Love these shoes! I wore to a wedding without breaking them in and my feet didn’t start to hurt until 9 hours into the event! I am usually between a 6 and 6.5 and got a 6.5 and they fit perfectly.
