Scott Montgomery
Scott L. Montgomery is an author, geoscientist, and
affiliate faculty member in the Jackson School of
International Studies, University of Washington. He
writes and lectures on a wide variety of topics
related to energy (geopolitics, technology,
resources, climate change), American politics,
intellectual history, language and communication,
and the history of science.
He is a frequent contributor to online journals such
as The Conversation, Forbes, and Fortune, and his articles and op-eds are
regularly featured in many outlets, including Newsweek, Marketwatch, The
Huffington Post, and UPI.
He also gives public talks and serves on panels related to issues in global
energy and their relation to political and economic trends and ideas of
sustainability.
For more than two decades, Montgomery worked as a geoscientist in the
energy industry, writing over 100 scientific papers and 70 monographs on
topics related to oil and gas, energy technology, and industry trends.
Books
Montgomery is the author of 12 books, including, The Shape of the New:
Four Big Ideas and How They Built the Modern World (Princeton, 2015),
co-authored with Dan Chirot, which The New York Times selected as one
of the 100 Most Notable Books of 2015. Shape of the New has been widely
praised for its themes regarding the power of ideas in the shaping of
modern history, using such thinkers as Adam Smith, Charles Darwin, Karl
Marx, and the founders of American democracy, particularly Thomas
Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, as examples of how influential
Enlightenment thought has been. The book also examines how such
thought has been opposed by forms of often-violent reaction and
extremism, such as fascism, totalitarianism, and religious fundamentalism.
Other recent works include: Seeing the Light: Making the Case for Nuclear
Power in the 21stCentury, co-author Thomas Graham Jr. (Cambridge;
forthcoming fall 2017); The Chicago Guide to Communicating
Science (Second Edition, Chicago, 2017); A History of Science in World
Cultures (Routledge, 2015); Does Science Need a Global
Language? (Chicago, 2013); Powers that Be: Global Energy for the
21st Century and Beyond (Chicago, 2010).
