About this product
Product Information
Power Trip is an adventurous, wonk-free, big-picture, solutions-oriented narrative by leading young journalist Amanda Little that maps out the history and future of America's energy addiction. Infused with next-generation candor and optimism, Power Trip examines the ways in which oil and coal have shaped America as an international superpower--even as they posed political and environmental dangers to the nation and the world. Hard-hitting yet optimistic, Power Trip is a manifesto for the younger generations who are inheriting the earth.

I have been collecting on eBay for a long time and this seller is without question the best book dealer I've ever dealt with. The seller posts multiple pictures of each book so a buyer may get a real indication of their condition. The prices are very fair indeed and the seller helped me put a lot together for an extremely good deal! They arrived in perfect condition, because they were very carefully packaged - and very quickly too. I could not be happier and I highly recommend this seller.
