Joachim Schlor (don't know how to get an umlaut on here) "Nights in the Big City: Paris-Berlin-London 1840-1930"
It's a history of the effects of artificial lighting. Looks at the effects on society, different classes and how their interractions may have altered; psychological effects, such as the change in peoples' relationship to time and the day/night cycle; economic effects, etc.
Very interesting.
