Description: As New in As New jacket. 8vo. pp. 283, "Energy is our most valuable and vulnerable resource. The accomplishments of human civilization-exploring distant planets, curing disease-have relied on our ability to discover, harness, and conserve it. As Mark Eberhart shows in this eye-opening work, cultures flourish when energy is available and collapse when it dwindles. Now, confronted with our energy dependence and shrinking resources, our course forward is obvious. By exploring the science as well ... read more
"Eberhart meanders through lots of interesting stuff in his tale of man's relationship to nature. (A bit too meandering at times, but always fascinating.) Starting with the creation of the elements with atomic number 6 (Carbon) and above ... leading through the human brain's ability to release heat through sweat while the kudzu prey overheats and dies ... and culminating in a call for a science-based climate policy funded on the scale of our current military endeavors (which I'm down for). If you can tie all this guy's ideas together in a central thesis that makes sense for you, your neurons will form many a new synapse."
"Rambling pretense at erudition. What really is the point of this book? The link to its purported intent - understanding our energy needs - is totally lost on me, e.g. how does the physics definition of energy and calories help the reader appreciate energy consumption?"
