People have lived and died, businesses have prospered and failed, and nations have risen to world power and declined, all over energy challenges. Ultimately, the history of these challenges tells the story of humanity itself. [...] Human beings have confronted the problem of how to draw life from raw material since the beginning of time. Each invention, each discovery, each adaptation brought further challenges, and through such transformations, we arrived at where we are today. In Rhodes's singular style, Energy details how this knowledge of our history can inform our way tomorrow." -- Amazon.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 333.7909 Rh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7909 Rh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7909 Rh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7909 Rh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7909 Rh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7909 Rh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Nonfiction 333.7909 Rh Checked In Add Copy to MyList
