Reviews

[The Rise and Fall of King Coal] is recommendable to anyone interested in understanding how coal and markets interacted historically in the USA from the point of view of economic history, business history, history of advertising, history of science and commodity history....With coal exports rising in Indonesia and Australia and absolute production rising in other parts of Asia, the market context of coal is important knowledge, for which Mark Aldrich's book is a wonderful start. —H-Soz-Kult
