"Conservation Through Engineering" by Franklin K. Lane is a scientific publication that appears to have been written in the early 20th century, specifically during the post-World War I era. The book addresses the urgent issues surrounding conservation and resource management, particularly focusing on coal and petroleum, as well as the development of America’s natural resources for sustainable progress. Lane emphasizes the role of engineering and government policy in ensuring responsible management of these vital resources. In this work, Lane discusses various aspects of resource conservation, particularly focusing on coal production and its significance to America's industrial capabilities. He explores the implications of the coal strike at the time, analyzing the relationship between miners, coal operators, and the public's responsibility in resource management. Lane advocates for a comprehensive understanding of national resources and encourages innovative engineering solutions to maximize efficiency in resource use. He also touches upon the importance of developing alternative energy sources, such as electric power and petroleum, and the crucial role education and public welfare play in realizing these initiatives. The book ultimately champions the idea that wise management of resources through engineering can lead to national prosperity and sustainability.
