Energy and Culture : Perspectives on the Power to Work

Omtale

How will humanity continue to meet its energy needs without destroying the conditions necessary to sustain human life? This book offers a truly trans-disciplinary look at the problem of energy production and consumption in modern times. Discussing issues of history, politics, science, risk, lifestyle and representation, contributors demonstrate that experiences through time can provide insights into the kinds of solutions that have succeeded, as well as reasons why other solutions have failed.
