Energies and societies

The different energies we use don’t merely power our lives, they shape them – from the buildings we live in to the foods we eat and the alliances and enmities we form in (geo)politics. Yale Climate Connections here highlights books that explain the connections between energy and society and review the social history and impacts of fossil fuels. The second part of this bookshelf feature will address books dealing with how renewable energies will reshape America and the world.
