Summary
"The book discusses how the extraction of fossil fuels affects the rituals and artifacts of people's daily lives. The author asks readers to view fossil fuels as an intellectually intriguing topic rather than one better left to engineers. At the core of the book is the argument that energy consumption severs consumers from the production of carboniferous fuels and the waste they create. The book will interest scholars of American studies and environmental history"-- Provided by publisher.
