More about the grid

If you're more interested in learning about the power grid, I would greatly recommend reading The Power Makers. It covers the history behind both power generation, transmission and the battle between Edison and Westinghouse over DC or AC power. It will help explain also why there are various voltage levels from a less technical basis than an engineering text would, or asking the local electrical engineer who would talk your ears off for hours.
