Energy and Transport: Historical Perspectives on Policy Issues

Energy and Transport analyzes the history of energy use and regulation from the nineteenth century through to the present, as represented by broad policy and consumption in the individual household. The relationship between energy and the evolution of energy policies, and the relationship between fuels and environmental pollution are historically reviewed. Thus these thirteen essays shed much historical light on current energy debates and root out persistent myths about energy use. '...this volume is in many respects a pioneering effort. One hopes it will stimulate further research into the wide range of questions it addresses.' -- Science, 17th June 1983 'The editors of this book have succeeded in gatherinDaniels, George H. is the author of 'Energy and Transport: Historical Perspectives on Policy Issues', published 1982 under ISBN 9780803907867 and ISBN 0803907869.
