Bottled Lightning
Lithium batteries may hold the key to an environmentally sustainable, oil-independent future.

In Bottled Lightning, the science reporter Seth Fletcher takes us on a fascinating journey, from the salt flats of Bolivia to the labs of MIT and Stanford, from the turmoil at GM to cutting-edge lithium-ion battery start-ups, introducing us to the key play...

In 1896, recent law school graduate Charlotte Baker heads to Soda Flats, Colorado, in response to the town's need for a lawyer. The young barrister is looking forward to her new life in Colorado but is saddened by the reason for her move. It turns out her former fiancé, Conrad Walker III, used her as his personal tutor to get through law school and pass the bar. Once accomplished, he not only dropped her, but also promised to ruin her professionally if she remained in Philadelphia. To avoid the gossip, Charlotte tells everyone in Soda Flats that she is a widow. It seems the only respectable role for a lone woman moving west. Once settled in her new town, she meets many good people, including handsome stonemason, Niels Sorensen. Charlotte wants very much to have a life with Niels, but she has so many secrets, not actually being a widow the least of them.
