Getting ready for Spring 2018: Here are the books that we will be reading in 'Global Energy and the American Dream'

Put in the book orders today for next Spring, these are the books -- 
I'm excited to get two new ones on the list - Powell on the Navajo and coal, and Jones' history of electricity in the US. 

Mitchell is now part of the necessary canon for understanding oil, militarism and war in the Middle East.
