great book

Coal, a contempory energy story discusses, with text and full-color photographs, virtually every aspect of coat: its prehistoric origins, type differences and uses, as well as the miners, unions, mining procedures and environmental concerns that govern coal's availability and consumption. Also included is a general examination of the technical advances and refinements - such as coal gasification and liquefaction processes-that are enabling coal to resunme the lion's share of energy responsibility and truly become America's "contemporary energy".
