Summary: "The Story of a Piece of Coal: What It Is, Whence It Comes, and Whither It Goes" by Edward A. Martin is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the geological and chemical history of coal, examining its origins from ancient vegetation, the processes that transformed it over time, and its immense significance in various fields such as ecology, geology, and industry. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the widespread ignorance regarding the remarkable story behind coal. Martin outlines his intention to document the main facts and events related to coal's formation, from the ancient forests that contributed to its creation to the modern implications of its use, including what he calls the "fog-problem." He emphasizes the need to appreciate the complex journey of coal from its vegetative roots to its current state as a vital energy resource, teasing the detailed exploration of coal's origins and properties that is to follow in subsequent chapters.
