Description: viii, 595 p. ; 24 cmISBN: 1421421895; 9781421421896 Subject(s): Fossil fuels -- Social aspects | Humanities -- Philosophy | Nuclear energy -- Social aspects | Petroleum -- Social aspects | Power resources -- Moral and ethical aspects | Power resources -- Philosophy | Power resources -- Political aspects | Power resources -- Social aspectsLOC classification: T14 | .E58 2017Scope and content: "Energy humanities is a field of scholarship that, like medical humanities and digital humanities before it, overcomes traditional boundaries between the disciplines and between academic and applied research. Like its predecessors, energy humanities highlights the essential contribution that the insights and methods of the human sciences can make to areas of study and analysis once thought best left to the natural sciences. This isn't a case of the humanities simply helping their cross-campus colleagues to learn the mechanics of communication so that they might better articulate their ideas. Rather, these fields of scholarship are ones that demonstrate how the scale and complexity of the issues being explored demand insights and approaches that transcend old school disciplinary boundaries. Energy Humanities : A Reader offers a carefully curated selection of the best and most influential work in energy humanities that has appeared over the past decade. To stay true to the diverse work that makes up this emergent field, selections range from anthropology and geography to philosophy, history, and cultural studies to recent energy-focused interventions in art and literature. The three readers all agree that this is an important, ground-breaking collection of work"--Provided by publisher.
