reminds me of
1. Servitude of Power: Energy and Civilization Through the Ages, Jean-Claude Débeir, Jean-Paul Deléage and Daniel Hémery (very interesting part on the metabolic energy rational and thus driver of slavery throughout history - a logic which ended thank to fossil fuels....)
2. Energy and the Wealth of Nations: Understanding the Biophysical Economy, Charles A S Hall & Kent A. Klitgaard
