only one of the wild things i learned from brinegar's power and the politics of oil in the soviet south caucasus .

In 1920 Lenin approved the 'Camel operation', two caravans of 100 camels each, which were to carry 30 tons of Kazakh oil thru the snowy steppe from Emba to Uralsk, to reach a railway to Moscow. Before scrounging enough containers, the Reds took Grozny, and the plan was abandoned.

@Adebayo_D_A @_ISRF If you’d like to get a copy of the book, SUP have offered a discount of 20 percent with the code HISTORY20 at or if in the UK/EU

@Adebayo_D_A It’s been a long voyage, with COVID-era Zoom meetings, new host institutions, and a long hunt to gather copyright licenses. We would like to thank all authors, @_ISRF for a grant, SUP ed. Dan LoPreto, ed. assistant Thane Hale, & Jason Anscomb for the beautiful cover.

@Adebayo_D_A The book sketches the basis of a new energy-historical canon, not a conservative set of well-known texts, but a volatile, growing, and contested set of visions out of which our current reality has been shaped. We hope this canon will be challenged and will grow in new directions.

@Adebayo_D_A Troy Vettese expands on this determinative capacity by showing how neoliberal Julian Simon cast energy as part of the ‘master resource’ of human ingenuity, a vital means for opening up other resources, that would allow for endless growth – on this and other planets

@Adebayo_D_A Thomas Turnbull details the uncertainties over the relationship between energy use and development that anthropologist Laura Nader drew attention to in the late 1970s. In doing so, she challenged the supposed determinative capacities of energy as an agent of historical change
