This path-breaking quantity explores cultures of strength, the underlying yet under-appreciated dimensions of either predicament and innovation in source use worldwide. Theoretical chapters situate urgent power concerns in higher conceptual frames, and ethnographic case reports display power because it is imagined, used, and contested in various cultural contexts. individuals tackle concerns together with the relationship among source flows and social relationships in strength platforms; cultural transformation and notions of development and cave in; the blurring of expertise and magic; social tensions that accompany power contraction; and sociocultural adjustments required in prosperous societies to minimize dependence on fossil fuels. each one of 5 thematic sections concludes with an integrative and provocative dialog one of the authors. the quantity is a perfect instrument for instructing particular, modern, and comparative views on social theories of technological know-how and expertise in undergraduate and graduate courses.
