Energy In World History
The social sciences tend to act as if the social sphere would be operating in some enclosed universe. The book gives a good insight, how the use of energy and the availability of energy ressources was shaped and shaped our societies history.
There is no foresight in this book. To that issue the yearly "World Energy Outlook" of the IEA (International Energy Agency) especially 2011, where they clearly state "the age of cheap oil is over" is recommendable.
