Powering Up Canada is the first book to examine in detail how various sources of power, fuel and energy that have sustained Canadians over time and played a pivotal role in their history."-- _cProvided by publisher.
520	0		_a"Powering Up Canada investigates the ways that the production, processing, transportation, use, and waste issues of various forms of energy changed over time, tansforming almost every aspect of society in the process. Chapters in Part I explore the energies of the organic regime--food, animal muscle, water, wind, and firewood--while those in Part II focus on coal, oil, gas, hydroelectricity, and nuclear power defining the mineral regime. Contributors identify both continuities and disparities in Canada's changing energy landscape in this first full overview of the country's distinctive energy history. Reaching across disciplinary boundaries, these essays demonstrate not only why and how energy serves as a lens through which to better understand the country's history, but provide as well ways of thinking about some of its most pressing contemporary concerns."-- _cProvided by publisher.
