Mark C. Thurber is Associate Director of the Program on Energy and Sustainable Development at Stanford University.
“Coal pushed the industrial era into existence. Today, with
global warming, coal is among the biggest threats. Mark Thurber
applies his sharp analytical mind, the balance of an historian, and
an elegant pen to this vital subject. Everyone will learn
something important from this lovely little book.”
David Victor, University of California, San Diego “Thurber presents
an overview of coal's role in past and present energy systems
as well as key factors affecting its future in both developed and
developing countries, offering a clear non-polemical analysis of
coal's economic, environmental, and energy security
attributes.”
Howard Gruenspecht, former Deputy Administrator, US Energy
Information Administration
