Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Fueling Change tells the story of energy and people through time. This impressive collection of insights pulls together documents, artifacts and bountiful visuals to provide snapshots of how one city, Kansas City, has experienced transitions and variations in its energy supply.
