"The Coming of Coal" by Robert W. Bruère is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work discusses the pivotal role of coal in the development of modern civilization and industry, particularly focusing on its impact during the industrial revolution. The book explores the interplay between the economic advantages brought by coal and the social challenges that arose as a result of its exploitation and the necessary labor conditions. The opening of the book introduces readers to the historical context and importance of coal, emphasizing its origins and how it became a driving force in industrialization. Bruère reflects on how coal transformed human societies, enabling unprecedented energy production while simultaneously prompting ethical concerns about labor exploitation and the consequences of unregulated industrial growth. He raises critical questions regarding humanity's preparedness to manage the benefits of coal, suggesting that the real measure of progress lies not in material wealth but in the spiritual and ethical evolution of society.
