Winner of the 24th Annual Susanne M. Glasscock Humanities Book Prize Finalist for the 2023 Cundill History Prize Gold Medal Recipient, Nautilus Book Awards, Sustainability To achieve fossil fuel independence, few technologies are more important than batteries. Used for powering zero-emission vehicles, storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, and revitalizing the electric grid, batteries are essential to scaling up the renewable energy resources that help address global warming. But given the unique environmental impact of batteries—including mining, disposal, and more—does a clean energy transition risk trading one set of problems for another? In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition. As climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that future will consume. With new insight on the consequences for people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy future, from the ground up.Ver libro

Walden by Henry David Thoreau is a timeless classic of American literature that reflects on the meaning of simple living, self-reliance, and humanity's relationship with nature. First published in 1854, this influential work is both a personal narrative and a philosophical meditation inspired by Thoreau's two-year experiment living in a small cabin near Walden Pond in Massachusetts. Seeking to escape the distractions and pressures of society, Thoreau set out to live deliberately and discover what life could teach when stripped down to its essentials. In the quiet solitude of the woods, he built his own cabin, grew his own food, and observed the rhythms of nature. Through these experiences, he explored the idea that true fulfillment does not come from wealth or social status but from simplicity, independence, and mindful living. Throughout Walden, Thoreau shares vivid descriptions of the natural world—the changing seasons, the stillness of the pond, the songs of birds, and the quiet beauty of the forest. These observations are woven together with thoughtful reflections on society, work, consumption, and the pursuit of happiness. With sharp insight and gentle humor, he challenges readers to question the habits and expectations that often lead people away from meaningful lives. More than a memoir of life in the wilderness, Walden is a philosophical exploration of how individuals can reconnect with both nature and themselves. Thoreau encourages readers to slow down, observe the world more carefully, and live with greater intention and awareness. His reflections emphasize the importance of independence, personal responsibility, and the courage to live according to one's own values. The book also serves as an early and powerful voice for environmental awareness. Thoreau's deep appreciation for the natural world has inspired generations of readers, writers, and environmental thinkers who see in Walden a call to respect and protect the beauty and balance of nature. Rich with insight, poetic language, and timeless wisdom, Walden continues to resonate with readers who seek a more thoughtful and purposeful way of life. It is both a celebration of nature and a guide to living simply, reminding us that clarity, peace, and fulfillment can often be found by returning to life's most basic truths.Ver libro
