Description: Power Politics by Clif Stratton, Jesse Spohnholz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "A higher education history textbook that focuses on carbon energy in world history. This is part of the Roots of Contemporary Issues series"-- Publisher Description Growing directly out of the experiences of a team of Washington State University historians who designed a new foundational course for WSUs common requirements, the Roots of Contemporary Issues series is built on the premise that students will be better at facing current and future challenges, no matter their major or career path, if they are capable of addressing controversial and pressing issues in mature, reasoned ways using evidence, criticalthinking, and clear written and oral communication skills. To help students achieve these goals, each title in the Roots of Contemporary Issues series argues that todays problems are not simplythe outcomes of yesterdays decisions: they are shaped by years, decades, and centuries of historical developments. Solving the central problems facing our world requires a deep historical understanding of the ways in which humans have been interconnected with faraway places for centuries. Power Politics is centered around the premise that in order to generate real solutions to the problem of climate change, we must first understand how our relationship to thecarbon-based fuels that drive global warming has unfolded over time. By tracing the historical relationship between carbon energy and political ideas, institutions, motivations, andactions, Power Politics places readers in a better position to understand the entrenched nature of climate change denialism, capitalists self-proclaimed ability to correct the problem, and the appeal of politically radical solutions to global warming. The book is organized into five chapters that move forward in time and offer selected case studies that illustrate how the pursuit of carbon energy and politics intersect and shape each other over time. The chapters track five keyperiods in the political history of carbon energy: the pre-industrial, the industrial revolution, the ages of empire and mass democracy, the Cold War and decolonization, and the late- and post- Cold War.
