More and more and more : an all-consuming history of energy


Beskrivelse


Describes how our industrial age and beyond has in fact been powered by an ever-greater accumulation of each major energy source feeding off the others. Fressoz describes how humanity has gorged on all forms of energy, with whole forests used to prop up coal mines, and fossil fuels remaining central to the creation of innumerable new products we rely on every day.
