Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Europe, coal was by far the most important source of energy from the beginning of industrialisation until well after the Second World War. It was indispensable in shaping the modern world, and in altering our understanding of time and space. Used foundationally in organic chemistry, coal helped to create the multitude of colours, medicines, and man-made products which still shape our daily lives. Without coal, the First and Second World Wars would have looked very different, and in the peace conferences after both wars, the control of this resource was of central importance. At its height, coal mining in Europe employed almost two and a half million people, mostly men, who had often migrated over vast distances to find work in this booming industry, despite the difficulties and dangers. As a result of the capitalist model of the industry, mining saw significant labour organization and strikes. The use of coal, however, created environmental problems. During and after industrialisation, the demand for energy multiplied, and coal was the only resource that could satisfy this increasing demand, despite the high levels of CO2 emission. In contemporary society, world-wide attempts are being made to reduce these emissions, but while in Europe, coal mining and use has declined, world-wide its production and consumption have reached new heights. Even in Europe, coal's major legacy persists: society's dependence on vast amounts of easily available, transportable, and affordable energy. Franz-Josef Brüggemeier uses modern Europe's reliance on coal to tell a wide-ranging story of how energy can shape a society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the United Mineworkers of New Zealand from 1880 to 1960. The book shows the beginnings of the coal industry, when a group of miners from Britain found themselves in a more hostile and remote environment than they were used to. The efforts of following generations of miners to gain control of the work process are described. The role of the miners in the great industrial struggles is examined, as in the Maritime Strike of 1890, the unrest of 1912-13, and the 1951 waterfront dispute. The book is illustrated with black and white photographs of people and their environment.
