The Coal Question - Book by William Stanley Jevons

In The Coal Question, William Stanley Jevons addresses the economic and social implications of coal, the primary energy source of the Industrial Revolution. Jevons discusses how the demand for coal was rapidly increasing due to industrialization and transportation advancements, while its finite nature raised concerns about the long-term sustainability of coal supplies. He introduces what is now known as the "Jevons Paradox," arguing that technological improvements in energy efficiency often lead to greater overall energy consumption.
