Introduction to Energy in California by Peter Asmus (University of California Press, 2009).

Yet another excellent book in the California Natural History Guide series edited by the admirable Phyllis Faber. I read it over the weekend before the author joined us for a UPB Conversation — an unusually rambunctious one as the subject of energy generates plenty of passion.  This is an introduction by a skilled writer who brings together the history, geology, innovations, disasters, problems, and variety of future opportunities for energy in our amazing state. William McClung, UPB partner.

About the UPB Post

We intend this UPB Post to be a kind of BERKELEY READS forum, a place where we and our intellectual friends can project what we find in books.

You can blog here, too, by sending not more than 300 words to us at this email address.

Occasionally we will post a cri de coeur for the fate of books and our bookstore, seeking respect and support.

And an occasional joie de vie as there is so much good life in the books we carry and in this place.
