“This transnational history of Alpine hydroelectricity from the mid-19th century to the present is masterfully realized in a highly accessible book of manageable proportions.” Read Jörg Balsiger’s review of “Mountain Battery” by Marc Landry: doi.org/10.1659/mrd.... @stanfordpress.bsky.social
Cover of the book “Mountain Battery: The Alps, Water, and Power in the Fossil Fuel Age” by Mark Landry. The title and the author’s name are printed across a painting of a bird’s-eye view of a large hydropower plant in a mountain landscape. In the distance, there are snow-covered mountains, below them lies a lake dammed by what looks like a natural rock formation. Below this, in the foreground, is a lake and a flat area, at the edge of which there are a few buildings. A bundle of large pipes leads from near the top of the rock formation down the slope to the largest of the buildings.

We Called It Discrimination. They Called It Fascism.
