While concerns about climate change have brought negative attention to the coal industry in recent years, as descendants of the industrial revolution, we have all benefited from the mining of the black seam. Coal has profoundly influenced the course of human history and our social and natural environments. This book takes readers on a captivating journey through the extraordinary artistic responses to coal, from its role in the works of writers such as Zola, Lawrence, and Orwell to the way it inspired the work of painters like Turner, Monet, and Van Gogh and the place of coal in film, song, folklore, and the surprising allure of coal tourism. This strikingly illustrated book offers an engaging and informative exploration into the myriad ways coal has shaped our lives.
