It was apparently first printed in 1976 according to this page I found discussing it.

I love how the book says that no one has observed electricity, yet it has a picture of a lightning bolt on the cover 🤦

"That's not you observing electricity, that's just seeing something electricity does heathen."

Those guys probably.

Their argument seems to be that since you can't actually see it, as in you can't pump electricity into a clear pipe and see flowing through the pipe like water. That "science" must just be lying to you.

You can't see water either, only its effects on light that goes to your eyes

Oh don't worry. They don't understand how eyes work either.
