Energy in the Americas : Critical Reflections on Energy and History

Amelia M. Kiddle

This is an impressive collection that crosses borders in more ways than just geographical territory. Covering different cases from Canada to Patagonia, the authors encourage us to rethink the history of energy in all of its varieties: petroleum, hydro, coal, nuclear, solar, thermal, and more. The timeliness and necessity of the exercise cannot be underestimated in the era of climate change.
