"""An eminently readable, elegantly precise treatise on the topic of batteries."" * Science * ""An enjoyable and accessible book...Many readers may be susceptible to the trap of wide-eyed idealism in terms of environmental activism and the 'clean energy future' Turner discusses in this book. He strikes a great balance between optimism and pessimism on that front; he puts a lot of things into historical and highly realistic perspective. In doing so, he provides a roadmap for people who actually want to achieve a clean energy future, pointing to the pitfalls previous engineers fell into or carved themselves, and advising how to learn from those mistakes and forge ahead."" * H-Environment (H-Net) * ""Engrossing and sobering, Charged is essential reading for anyone concerned about environment, energy, and the sustainable future."" * H-Sci-Med-Tech (H-Net) * ""The book provides readers with a valuable history of battery technology, the interdependency of batteries and the environment, and the challenge (and perhaps impossibility) of just energy transition policies."" * Environmental History *"
