Minerals of the Industrial Revolution: Part 1. Power

Описание к видео Minerals of the Industrial Revolution: Part 1. Power

At first, only the richest and mightiest people on earth could build a pyramid, or a mausoleum, or the Roman roads. Nobody else had the energy - meaning, the massive amounts of muscle it took to move stones, row ships, mine metals, or anything else. But by the 18th century, that kind of energy would be available to all. In this episode of @HowMineralsMadeCivilization, learn about how one mineral resource shaped today's society. From mass production to the nature of work to the changing climate, coal was the fuel that made the Industrial Revolution truly revolutionary.
Much of the data come from Vaclav Smil's 2017 book "Energy and Civilization."
