Something has gone wrong. We`re living in an age of celebratory racism, extreme inequality, uncertainty & fear. We`re governed by people who claim to be populist but who seem to hate everyone. There are idiots at the wheel & we`re heading for a cliff in a big red bus & no one knows how to save us. Enemies of The People reveals who has taken us to this dizzying precipice. It provides the actual, non-alternative facts about Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Vladimir Putin & their charming friends
- & also explains where they got their crazy ideas. Why did people turn so mean? How did so-called social networks like Facebook become so very anti-social? Why did anyone think it would be a good idea to privatise railways? Just how much should we fear the robots? Why is no one doing anything about Global Warming? Why is no one doing anything about Boris Johnson either? This book explains all those vital questions & more. Remember, though
- they say history is written by the victors & fortunately, many of those currently winning can`t seem to write more than 140 characters at a time. This gives us the golden opportunity to set the record straight & snatch back the narrative. But if we`ve any chance of victory, we first need to know our enemy.

Pulitzer Prize- & National Book Award-winning author Richard Rhodes reveals the fascinating history behind energy transitions over time--wood to coal to oil to electricity & beyond. People have lived & died, businesses have prospered & failed, & nations have risen to world power & declined, all over energy challenges. Ultimately, the history of these challenges tells the story of humanity itself. Through an unforgettable cast of characters, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes explains how wood gave way to coal & coal made room for oil, as we now turn to natural gas, nuclear power, & renewable energy. Rhodes looks back on five centuries of progress, through such influential figures as Queen Elizabeth I, King James I, Benjamin Franklin, Herman Melville, John D. Rockefeller, & Henry Ford. In Energy, Rhodes highlights the successes & failures that led to each breakthrough in energy production; from animal & waterpower to the steam engine, from internal-combustion to the electric motor. He addresses how we learned from such challenges, mastered their transitions, & capitalized on their opportunities. Rhodes also looks at the current energy landscape, with a focus on how wind energy is competing for dominance with cast supplies of coal & natural gas. He also addresses the specter of global warming, & a population hurtling towards ten billion by 2100. 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, & 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. ...
