. . a superb monograph delivering precisely what the title promises—a detailed study of what he rightly calls 'one of the nation's greatest and most distinctive mineral-based economies'. . . . a pleasure and an education to read.
* Business History *A masterful combination of sensitive analysis and engaging narrative, Wealth, Waste, and Alienation is both a comprehensive economic history of the 19th- and early 20th-century coke industry and an insightful business history of that industry's major firms and entrepreneurs. It is also a study in the historical geography and environmental and social history of a region that grew rich and then declined through a dependence on producing the essential fuel of the American steel industry.
* Paul F. Paskoff, Louisiana State University *Connellsville coke made Pittsburgh steel world famous, and this book shows why. Drawing on economic, technological, labor, and environmental history, Warren tells the 'biography' of one of America's premier metallurgical districts. This book builds outward from fresh archival research in the Frick and Carnegie archives (and from Warren's own splendid book on the Connellsville coke king, Henry Clay Frick).
* Thomas J. Misa, author of A Nation of Steel: The Making of Modern America, 1865-1925 *The Connellsville coal industry has been long neglected by historians. Professor Kenneth Warren has corrected that omission with his fine treatment of a vitally important industry. This is a master historian at the top of his form.
* John N. Ingham, University of Toronto *Warren is to be congratulated for his outstanding, thorough, detailed coverage of Connellsville and its coke industry. ... it gives significant insights into an era, industry, and individuals that are now gone but that helped develop America into what it is today.
* Journal of American History *Kenneth Warren is Emeritus Fellow of Jesus College, University of Oxford. He is the author of numerous books, including Big Steel: The First Century of the United States Steel Corporation 1901–2001; Wealth, Waste, and Alienation: Growth and Decline in the Connellsville Coke Industry; and Bethlehem Steel: Builder and Arsenal of America.
