Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The Origin and End of PowerBy Ronald A. AppletonFrom the first spark to the last light - the story of how humanity learned to borrow power, forgot to share it, and must now learn to keep it alive.Across centuries, every civilisation has been defined by its relationship with energy. Fire, coal, oil, atom, and sun - each discovery lifted humanity higher while binding it closer to dependence. The Origin and End of Power traces that journey from the dawn of mastery to the edge of exhaustion, asking one urgent question: can we learn to steward energy as wisely as we once learned to wield it?Blending history, philosophy, and moral reflection, Ronald A. Appleton explores how the rise of invention became the age of addiction - and how a new era of stewardship could restore balance between humanity and the world that sustains it. This is not another book about climate or technology; it is about meaning, morality, and survival.Through poetic, reflective prose, the book moves from the birth of civilisation's energy hunger to its possible rebirth in a world of restraint and renewal. It reveals how progress, once measured by speed and consumption, must now be redefined by patience, wisdom, and endurance. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
