In this remarkable book, Barbara Freese takes us on a rich
historical journey that begins hundreds of millions of years ago
and spans the globe. Prized as the best stone in Britain" by Roman
invaders who carved jewellery out of it, coal has transformed
societies, launched empires, and expanded frontiers. It made China
an eleventh-century superpower, inspired the Communist Manifesto ,
and helped the North win the American Civil War. Yet coal's
transformative power has come at tremendous cost, from the
blackening of our lungs and skies, to the perils of mining, to
global warming. Now updated with a new chapter describing the
high-stakes conflict between coal's defenders and those working to
preserve a livable climate, Coal offers a captivating history of
the mineral that helped build the modern world but now endangers
our future.
