Introduction
“Electricity for Beginners”
the revised
edition
This title was originally inspired by the name of a Physics textbook I
noticed while at Secondary school. It refers to the electrical activity of
the brain, i.e. thought, rather than the mathematically challenging world
of Physics.
“Why Beginners?”
I guess it would be a pun on the fact that the general populous would seem
to use such a miniscule amount of the brainpower they were gifted with.
Most widely held varieties of the of “ultimate truth” are drawn into
question. It suggests that people have been generally hoodwinked, thus the
word beginners refers to another look at things.
Why “Revised Edition?”
Well, the original attempt at this book was made about 30 years earlier,
but somehow the original manuscript went missing. Some of it was even
plagiarized (the ultimate compliment, I guess). The core of the idea
remains, however.
The world of Norman Normal has survived!
