The fascinating, often surprising story of how a simple black rock has altered the course of history. . Prized as "the best stone in Britain" by Roman invaders who carved jewelry out of it, coal has transformed societies, powered navies, fueled economies, and expanded frontiers. It made China a twelfth-century superpower, inspired the writing of the Communist Manifesto, and helped the northern states win the American Civil War. Yet the mundane mineral that built our global economy -and even today powers our electrical plants-has also caused death, disease, and environmental destruction. As early as 1306, King Edward I tried to ban coal (unsuccessfully) because its smoke became so obnoxious. Its recent identification as a primary cause of global warming has made it a cause clbre of a new kind. In this remarkable book, Barbara Freese takes us on a rich historical journey that begins three hundred million years ago and spans the globe. From the "Great Stinking Fogs" of London to the rat-infested coal mines of Pennsylvania, from the impoverished slums of Manchester to the toxic city streets of Beijing, Coal is a captivating narrative about an ordinary substance that has done extraordinary things-a simple black rock that could well determine our fate as a species.

評分煤是由古代植物遗体埋在地层下或在地壳中经过一系列非常复杂的变化而形成的。是由有机物和无机物所组成的复杂的混合物,主要含有碳元素,此外还含有少量的氢、氮、硫、氧等元素以及无机矿物质(主要含硅、铝、钙、铁等元素)。煤的结构复杂。 谈到这些,太学术了。肯定觉着...
評分翻开人类历史,可能没有一种能源像煤这样,人类对之不离不弃,也对之爱恨交加,尤其是随着工业化的兴起与发展,煤是不可或缺的,也是饱受争议的。可以说,黑色的煤炭给了人类需要的东西,也给了人类不想要的负担。 手中这本《黑石头的爱与恨:煤的故事》是套书文明的进...
評分从黑暗和浓雾中走出的英国工业革命主宰了整个二十世纪,并最终变成了战争机器。回想历史,吐蕃王朝曾经学习大唐帝国,在海拔3000之上建立完整的政治农业军事体系,甚至亲自派使者去天竺取回真经。为了追赶历史,而二十世纪的中国也曾建立起全世界最全的工业门类体系。可以预期...
