Inhaltsangabe

The Coal Question: An Inquiry Concerning The Progress Of The Nation, And The Probable Exhaustion Of Our Coal Mines is a book written by William Stanley Jevons in 1866. The book is an inquiry into the use of coal as a source of energy and its impact on the progress of the nation. It examines the economic, social, and environmental consequences of the use of coal, and presents a detailed analysis of the state of Britain's coal mines at the time. Jevons argues that the country's reliance on coal is unsustainable and that the exhaustion of the mines is inevitable. He proposes alternative sources of energy and advocates for the development of new technologies to reduce the country's dependence on coal. The book is considered a landmark in the history of energy economics and has had a significant impact on the development of energy policy in Britain and other countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
