This book is a study of the relationship between the use of energy in society and the general pattern of development in Great Britain during the 1870â€"1914 era. Professor Adams argues that Britain's apparent 'decline' in this period was not in fact a decline but a levelling off in capacity to do work, a result of the country's collective decision to invest more heavily abroad than at home.
