It seemed like two books. The first was a really detailed breakdown of when, why and how the steam engine overtook the water wheel. The second book was about global warming and capitalism in the modern era. There are lots of interesting ideas and facts, but he just goes into way too much detail for this to be interesting. I had to skim a lot of it to make it to the end.
