Summary: "The book discusses how the extraction of fossil fuels affects the rituals and artifacts of people's daily lives. The author asks readers to view fossil fuels as an intellectually intriguing topic rather than one better left to engineers. At the core of the book is the argument that energy consumption severs consumers from the production of carboniferous fuels and the waste they create. The book will interest scholars of American studies and environmental history"--Summary: The mineral moment -- Mineral rites: the embodiment of fossil fuels -- Carbon's social history: a chunk of coal from the 1912 RMS Titanic -- Energy slaves: the technological imaginary of the fossil economy -- Fossilized mobility: a phenomenology of the modern road (with Lewis and Clark) -- Coal TV: the hyperreal mineral frontier -- Carbon culture: how to read a novel in light of climate change -- Carbon's temporality and the structure of feeling.PPN: PPN: 1685651569Package identifier: Produktsigel: BSZ-4-NLEBK-KAUB | GBV-4-CommColl | ZDB-4-NLEBK | ZDB-4-EBA
