Place reservation for More and more and more : an all-consuming history of energyUsing a fascinating array of examples, Fressoz describes how we have gorged on all forms of energy - with whole forests needed to prop up coal mines, coal remaining central to the creation of innumerable new products and oil still central to our lives. The world now burns more wood and coal than ever before. This book reveals an uncomfortable truth: 'transition' was originally itself promoted by energy companies, not as a genuine plan, but as a means to put off any meaningful change. 'More and More and More' forces its readers to understand the modern world in all its voracious reality, and the true nature of the challenges heading our way.
