Interesting and well researched early history
Especially the early history of steam and electric power is superb. But it doesn't come up to Making of the Atomic bomb.

Energy: A Human History
Energy is the foundation of human progress, growth and economic prosperity. In this work, Richard Rhodes provides an excellent and competent introduction to the history of energy capture and utilization within industrialized civilization. The books is written to reach a large and not exclusively academic audience; and while highly informative, should be accessible to the vast majority, particularly the audiobook. The hardback edition of this books is printed and bound to a high quality standard and the audiobook is narrated well. I highly recommend both the physical hardback edition and the audiobook.

interesting but Complicated book to read (too many details)
Author knows a great deal over the subject but the story gets lost in too many details.

No aporta nada
No hay ni hilo conductor ni mensajes claros, sólo un borbotón de datos que no aportan nada. Gran decepción
