Description
A global tour of energy--the builder of human civilization and also its greatest threat.
Power Trip explores how energy has transformed societies of the past and offers wisdom for today's looming energy crisis. There is no magic bullet; energy advances always come with costs.

Energy is humanity's single most important resource. In fact as energy expert Michael E. Webber argues in Power Trip the story of how societies rise can be told largely as the story of how they manage energy sources through time.

But history shows us that energy's great value is that it allows societies to reinvent themselves.
