John Munro wrote the tale of electricity. Readers of biographical novels are presented with a fictional account of a real-life or historical figure. Such biographies add fictional details or enhance the genuine lives of historical or contemporary figures. Romantic relationships between two or more people are the main subject of books in the romance novel genre. Other genres, like fantasy or historical romance, may also have characteristics present in this one. Northanger Abbey, Two on a Tower, Flatland, The Boundary of Blades: an Anglo-Indian romance, A Rose of a Hundred Leaves, An experiment in marriage, and Betty: A Last Century Love Story are a few titles that fall under this category. This small book's goal is to convey the fundamentals of electrical science in a clear and engaging manner, in keeping with the overall design of the series to which it belongs. The first man witnessed one of the most stunning and magnificent electrical phenomena, the thunderstorm, but the electrical utilities we now take for granted are exclusively the result of scientific advancement in the nineteenth century. The majority of the discussion that follows is devoted to these services.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Scotchman John Munro was born in Ross-shire in 1849. He received his education at the Bristol Trade and Mining School, where he later held the position of lecturer. Later, he was hired by Bristol University to teach mechanical and mining engineering. He produced two books and a number of works on electricity. He stopped teaching in 1919 and passed away in 1930. The first chapter of A Message from Mars, and A Trip to Venus were both included in Brian Aldiss and Harry Harrison's Farewell Fantastic Venus. Other historical and reference works by Munro include A Pocket-book of Electrical Rules and Tables for the Use of Engineers and Electricians (1891), Heroes of the Telegraph, and others (1884). The majority of Munro's works are in the public domain because they were first published before 1925. The Wire and the Wave, Pioneers of Electricity, Heroes of the Telegraph, Sun-Rise in the Moon, in the October edition of Cassell's Magazine in 1894, and The Story of Electricity, in 1902 are among the works of John Munro.
