Meticulously researched and expertly written\, it attempts to show how an energy fuel\, in this instance coal\, became an integral part of United States national security in the nineteenth century.―Technology and Culture \n\n\n\nRegister for this Zoom Event: REGISTER \n\n\n\nOr to register visit: www.factohio.org/dist-speak \n\n\n\nPeter Schulman\n\n\n\nCoal and Empire: The Birth of Energy Security in Industrial America   \n\n\n\nThe fascinating history of how coal-based energy became entangled with American security. \n\n\n\nSince the early twentieth century\, Americans have associated oil with national security. From World War I to American involvement in the Middle East\, this connection has seemed a self-evident truth. But\, as Peter A. Shulman argues\, Americans had to learn to think about the geopolitics of energy in terms of security\, and they did so beginning in the nineteenth century: the age of coal. \n\n\n\nCoal and Empire insightfully weaves together pivotal moments in the history of science and technology by linking coal and steam to the realms of foreign relations\, navy logistics\, and American politics. Long before oil\, coal allowed Americans to rethink the place of the United States in the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReview:Fast-paced\, engaging\, and accessible\, Coal and Empire reveals how the extraction and use of coal was intertwined with domestic and international politics\, economics and world trade\, and innovations in science\, mathematics\, and technology. Historians of technology and energy will naturally appreciate the book\, but the easy-to-digest writing style and broad analysis will also interest readers beyond academia. Shulman’s book has wonderful potential to become a valued and well-read treatise. \n\n\n\n— Richard F. Hirsh \n\n\n\nZoom participants will be eligible to win a copy of Coal and Empire URL:https://uucleveland.org/uucc_event/fact-speaker-series-coal-and-empire-the-birth-of-energy-security-in-industrial-america/ CATEGORIES:News ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://uucleveland.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/fact-logo.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230716T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230716T170000 DTSTAMP:20260426T054917 CREATED:20230627T152130Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230628T202521Z UID:16193-1689508800-1689526800@uucleveland.org SUMMARY:Obon Japanese Festival DESCRIPTION:Come one – come all!
