Summary: "The Mentor: The Story of Coal, vol. 6, Num. 6, Serial No. 154, May 1, 1918" by Charles Fitzhugh Talman is an educational publication from the early 20th century that delves into the geological and industrial significance of coal. As a part of the Mentor series, this work seeks to inform readers about the origins, types, and uses of coal while also addressing its implications for society and industry during a period when coal was a dominant energy source. The book is structured in sections that discuss the formation of coal from ancient vegetation during the Carboniferous Period, detailing the process that transformed peat into coal over millions of years. It explores the extensive coal fields in the United States, highlighting the regions rich in coal deposits, and elaborates on the history and evolution of coal mining practices. Talman emphasizes the various products derived from coal, including electricity and industrial chemicals, and examines issues like air pollution from coal combustion, safety concerns within coal mines, and the future sustainability of coal resources. Through informative prose and illustrations, the book provides a comprehensive view of coal's essential role in shaping modern energy use and industrialization.
