Riassunto

The Coal Question: An Inquiry Concerning The Progress Of The Nation, And The Probable Exhaustion Of Our Coal Mines is a book written by William Stanley Jevons in 1866. The book discusses the importance of coal in the industrial revolution and the future of coal mining in England. Jevons argues that the increasing demand for coal will lead to its eventual exhaustion and that the nation must find alternative sources of energy. He also examines the economic impact of coal mining on the nation's progress and development. The book is considered to be an important work in the history of environmentalism and resource depletion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
