Who wants free books? These are some of the titles that we at @urbanhistory.bsky.social are looking to review. Let me know if you or a friend want one, or if you have other suggestions. First, @rebwright.bsky.social's fabulous looking history of mid century US energy regimes:

We are hiring a new PhD student in the history group @unistavanger.bsky.social. There are several possible topics, including «Intersections between history education and education for sustainable development/environmental citizenship», which should be interesting for the #envhist #envhum crowd.

Such a great few days talking about emotion, sensation, and energy with all the brilliant people on the #energylives project at Chalmers, Gothenburg. The hydrogen dome definitely wins the prize for coolest workshop venue yet.

Can’t wait for this!

Moral Energy in America From the Progressive Era to the Atomic Bomb

Such a treat to be in the US days before P-day, thanks to @fredrikjonsson.bsky.social and CEGU. Not only was I lucky to present at the most generative workshop, but walking round Chicago, and experiencing its space, scale, and ahem “energy” reminds me of why I started this project. shorturl.at/Nd7oh

Really looking forward to this!

Thanks Caleb. I should let you know that I really enjoyed your book!

Thanks Pollyana. Can’t wait for yours either.
