The Coal Question, written by William Stanley Jevons in 1866, is an inquiry into the progress of the nation and the probable exhaustion of our coal mines. Jevons argues that coal is the basis of modern civilization and that its depletion will have a significant impact on the economy and society. He examines the history of coal usage and production, as well as the potential alternatives to coal, such as wind and water power. Jevons also explores the economic and social implications of coal depletion, including the potential for increased poverty and decreased industrial growth. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of energy economics and has influenced subsequent discussions on resource depletion and sustainability.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
