Fire and Civilization by Johan Goudsblom
This book is a history of man's relationship with fire, from his earliest prehistoric taming of this most basic elemental force, through to the Industrial Revolution, nuclear fission and beyond. The book is primarily a social history of man's control - and failure to control - fire, and of his uses, agricultural, industrial, symbolic and artistic of it.Johan Goudsblom ist Soziologe und emeritierter Professor an der Universität von Amsterdam. Er arbeitete eng mit Norbert Elias zusammen und hatte großen Einfluss auf die Elias-Rezeption seit den 1950er Jahren, zunächst in den Niederlanden, später auch in Deutschland und England.
