Description
First published in 1960, Energy and Man is a book that comprises five speeches, together with follow-up questions, that were given by business school graduates at a symposium held at Columbia University on November 4, 1959. Contributions by Allan Nevins, Robert G. Dunlop, Edward Teller, Edward S. Mason and Herbert Hoover, Jr., with an Introduction by Courtney C. Brown. “THROUGH THE AGES, LEARNING HAS LOOKED TO THE WORLD of practical affairs for the major subjects of its interest. It is very appropriate that a great university, Columbia, through its Graduate School of Business, should share with a great industry, through its representative, the American Petroleum Institute, an inquiry into the role of energy, past, present, and future, in the lives of each of us. “So, when early in 1959 the American Petroleum Institute asked the Graduate School of Business if it would collaborate in the preparation and presentation of a comprehensive symposium...It was decided that it would be appropriate to consider energy in its several forms and to discuss circumstances that will best assure its continued availability in abundance. Thus, on November 4, 1959, a group of over three hundred government officials, economists, historians, scientists, and executives from a broad range of industry gathered in the rotunda of Columbia’s Low Memorial Library to hear delivered and to discuss the papers which are reprinted in this volume.”—Courtney C. Brown, Introduction
