Recenzii
Scott provides a wealth of source material about the history of fuels in their specific context, using a wide range of literary texts to underscore her factual information.
Heidi Scott's important, wide ranging survey of anglophone literary production offers its title term as a fundamental determinant for cultural life. rich, variegated, and unfailingly intelligent . The elasticity of its approach to its primary texts, the generosity of its citation of prior work, and its solid organization all mean that it functions not just as a freestanding contribution in its own right, but as a kind of repository for other, future projects, an archive of possible critical production. In this sense Fuel will drive new work as though by a kind of hidden locomotive power, a generative capacity that we might as well call potential energy.
This scholarly and highly informative work deals with the various material cultures of the fuels that supply our basic energy needs, including biomass, fossil fuels, and primary renewable natural resources . Scott, a literature professor at the University of Maryland, brings a unique historical and literary approach to her topic. She incorporates analysis of such writers as Jane Austen and Charles Dickens to make a compelling case for the emerging discipline of energy humanities or energy ontology, which explores the shifts in human culture that have resulted from changing energy sources dating from the brink of industrialization to the present day. This book is unique in exploring a new interdisciplinary field that broadly considers human history, its evolution, and humanity's prospects for future survival. Summing Up: Recommended.
Indeed, an unfolding story of narrative agencies and natures/cultures is that of fuel. Heidi C. M. Scott's monograph ... contributes distinctively to burgeoning studies of petrocultures within the energy humanities, an interdisciplinary field focused on energy-society interconnections ... The monograph's accessible style will speak to a range of environmental audiences, from students to specialists.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Fuel: An Ecocritical History is the first book to chart our changing attitudes to fuel and energy through the literature and culture of the modern era, focusing on the 18th-century to the present. Reading a wide range of writers from Blake, Austen and Dickens to Upton Sinclair and Edward Abbey, Heidi Scott explores how our move from a pre-industrial reliance on biomass and elemental energy sources to our current dependence on the fossil fuels of coal, oil and natural gas have fundamentally shaped human identity and culture. The book's Anthropocene perspective reshapes our view of energy history and climate change, and Fuel looks forward to ways in which we can reimagine our culture away from the fossil fuel paradigm towards a more sustainable energy future driven by renewable, elemental energy.
