  • Cannibalism

    Open AccessD Lester, John H White et al.ARTICLEOMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying2015

A distinction was made between those who engaged only in cannibalism, those who engaged in necrophilia, and those who engaged in both or neither.

  • War of the Wires: A Curious Chapter in Street Railway History

    John H WhiteARTICLETechnology and Culture2005

    The street railway industry searched for a reliable and efficient motor to replace the horse for decades. By 1890 electricity was adopted for this purpose by transit operators. The new technology was in fact adopted with enthusiasm and most of the horse cars were gone by 1900. The universal plan included a single overhead wire charged with 600-volt DC current. The ground return was aided by bonded rail joints to complete the circuit. Only one maj…

    Sacramento. There is a feeling of elegance and careful design throughout the facility, erected by the state at a cost of approximately $22 million. There is none of the weed-grown dilapidation normally associated with museums operated by railroad enthusiasts.
