Steam Power
"You would make a ship sail against the winds and currents by lighting a bonfire under her deck? I have no time for such nonsense."
-Napoleon on Robert Fulton's steamship
The steam engine is a device that uses steam to generate power. Water, heated by burning fuel (usually coal or wood), turns to steam. The steam is contained in a chamber where it builds up pressure, causing a piston to move. The piston drives a turbine, the rotation of which produces power, which can be used for such purposes as producing motion or generating electricity. The early principles of this device were understood as early as the late 17th century, but it wasn't until 1769 that Scottish engineer James Watt patented a practical design for what was to become the basis for the modern steam engine. The invention of the steam engine led to a number of landmark developments, including the steam locomotive and the earliest examples of automobiles. Steam engines remained the chief means of motive power in the transportation industry until the invention of the more powerful and compact internal combustion engine. Steam turbines are still in use today in a number of applications including the generation of electrical power.

Nationalism
"A man does not have himself killed for a half pence a day or for a petty distinction. You must speak to the soul in order to electrify him."
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Nationalism is the belief that the affairs of the nation are the primary concern of its citizens. A recent political phenomenon (the first major application taking place after the French Revolution), it has nonetheless become the overriding paradigm for modern world politics. It is important to know that nationalism can come in a variety of forms, some permutations bearing little resemblance to each other. Many early nationalistic leaders preached the superiority of their country over all others. While this type isn't extinct today (as evidenced by the ethnocentric nationalism in the former Yugoslavia), most promote national determinism. Sanctioned by the United Nations, this is the belief that each nation should be responsible for its own growth and independence.

Electricity
"We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles."
-Thomas Edison
Humans have witnessed the phenomenon of electricity in the forms of lightning, static electricity, and magnetism since the dawn of time. Electricity was not seriously studied, however, until the 17th century. Early electrical pioneers studied various electrical phenomena, and built devices both to generate and to measure electrical charges. In 1892 Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, a Dutch physicist, advanced the electron theory. This theory, which explains electricity as a reaction between positively and negatively charged electrons, formed the basis for modern electrical theory. Based on Lorentz's work, early engineers such as Thomas Edison pioneered methods allowing the widespread use of electricity as a power source.

Scientific Method
"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use."
-Galileo Galilei
Mankind has always pursued an understanding of the universe that surrounds them. The scientific method lays down the blueprints for transmuting a theory into scientific law. The first step is to identify a process or phenomenon and begin to gather information about it. From this data, the scientist forms a hypothesis about the workings of the process observed. He or she then proceeds to run a series of experiments to gather additional information that substantiates or disproves their theory. If the theory can co-exist with the findings, it can then be called a scientific law. This is not to say that it cannot be disproved, as many such laws have become false as technology and new ideas are brought to bear.

Alcoholism (during the Industrial Age)
“This is a good place," he said.
"There's a lot of liquor," I agreed.”
― Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises
In the 1840s the young Friedrich Engels reported from the industrial areas of England: "It is not surprising that the workers should drink heavily. Sheriff Alison asserts that 30,000 workers are drunk in Glasgow every Saturday night. And this is certainly no underestimate."
Things were quite different, however, for the lower classes. They had never had a share in the coffee culture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They remained bound to medieval custom in their drinking habits. Alcohol had an incomparably larger place in the lives of the proletariat than it did among the bourgeoisie. For the former, drink and drunkenness carried no social stigma; on the contrary, they were almost a symbol of class identity. In no other class did the archaic drinking rituals—toasting of drinking buddies, competing over how much you could hold, etc.—survive as vigorously as they did among the working class. Traces of these rituals can still be glimpsed today in workers' pubs.
Nevertheless, in the nineteenth century industrialization brought such an intensification of social misery into workers' lives that the motive of escapism became far stronger than it had been in earlier times. Friedrich Engels sketched the situation from which the individual working man sought momentarily to free himself through drink in the following words: "The worker comes home from his job tired and listless; he finds a residence that is without all comfort, dank, inhospitable and dirty; he urgently needs something to restore him, he must have something that compensates for his toil and makes the prospect of the next day tolerable; his tense, harried, hypochrondriacal mood, which is the product of unhealthy conditions, and which is a product in particular of indigestion, is exacerbated to the point of unendurability by his overall circumstances in life, the precariousness of his existence, his dependance on all manner of contingencies and his inability to introduce any degree of security into his own life; his weak body, enfeebled through bad air and bad nutrition, urgently demands some stimulus from without; his need for companionship can be satisfied only in a tavern, since he and his friends have no other place to meet—and all told, how is the worker not to have the strongest temptation towards inebriation, how could he possibly be in any state to resist the allures of drinks? On the contrary, it is a moral and physical necessity that under these circumstances a very great number of workers must succumb to drink."
