Excerpt from Water-Power in the British Empire: The Reports of the Water-Power Committee of the Conjoint Board of Scientific Societies In the first census of production for the year 1907, the total power of industrial engines in use in Great Britain and Ireland is given as 10,578,475 h.p., and the steam-engine power of road rollers and road locomotives owned by public authorities amounted to 167,192 h.p. Of the industrial engines, steam-reciprocating engines were rated at 9,118,818 h.p.; steam turbines, 530,892; internal-combustion engines, gas, oil, etc. 680,177; and water-power, 177,907 h.p. The persons employed in the factories using this large power numbered nearly 101/2 millions; so that, roughly, the power available for the industries of Britain was nearly 1 h.p. per person employed. To support the 46 millions of people now living in the United Kingdom thus requires a continuous enormous expenditure of power, and a very large consumption of fuel. The present position of the coal question is supposed by some to be very temporary, and it is hoped that shortly we may resume our former fortunate state when coal was plentiful and motive power and heating very economical from the money viewpoint. The coal position of the world, however, must deteriorate from decade to decade, and it might be of advantage to consider our position in a coalless and oilless world. The position of Great Britain and the Empire is, however, sufficient for us. The combined report of the Water-Power Committee of the Conjoint Board of Scientific Societies considers Great Britain and the Empire in relation to the main alternative to fuel - that is, water-power.

A bold new account of European imperialism told through the history of water In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a handful of powerful European states controlled more than a third of the land surface of the planet. These sprawling empires encompassed not only rainforests, deserts, and savannahs but also some of the world’s most magnificent rivers, lakes, marshes, and seas. Liquid Empire tells the story of how the waters of the colonial world shaped the history of imperialism, and how this imperial past still haunts us today. Spanning the major European empires of the period, Corey Ross describes how new ideas, technologies, and institutions transformed human engagements with water and how the natural world was reshaped in the process. Water was a realm of imperial power whose control and distribution were closely bound up with colonial hierarchies and inequalities—but this vital natural resource could never be fully tamed. Ross vividly portrays the efforts of officials, engineers, fisherfolk, and farmers to exploit water, and highlights its crucial role in the making and unmaking of the colonial order. Revealing how the legacies of empire have persisted long after colonialism ebbed away, Liquid Empire provides needed historical perspective on the crises engulfing the world’s waters, particularly in the Global South, where billions of people are faced with mounting water shortages, rising flood risks, and the relentless depletion of sea life.

Over the last 2,000 years, critical innovations have transformed small regions into global powers. But these powers have faded when they did not embrace the next big innovation. Gerard J. Tellis and Stav Rosenzweig argue that openness to new ideas and people, empowerment of individuals and competition are key drivers in the development and adoption of transformative innovations. These innovations, in turn, fuel economic growth, national dominance and global leadership. In How Transformative Innovations Shaped the Rise of Nations, Tellis and Rosenzweig examine the transformative qualities of concrete in Rome; swift equine warfare in Mongolia; critical navigational innovations in the golden ages of Chinese, Venetian, Portuguese and Dutch empires; the patent system and steam engine in Britain; and mass production in the United States of America.
