He served as Lead Editor and author of Human Rights in Natural Resource Developments (2002), Beyond the Carbon Economy (2008), The Law of Energy Underground (2014), and Innovation in Energy Law and Technology (2018). This last book involved 37 authors from 22 nations around the world, and discussed topics such as oil and gas hydraulic fracturing (\u201cfracking\u201d); new uses of gas and nuclear power; distributed electric power; and various renewable energy developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Zillman will use his two-volume Living the World War: A Weekly Exploration of the American Experience in World War I (Vandeplas Press 2016 and 2018, researched and written by Professor Zillman and Elizabeth Elsbach) to discuss the lasting lessons from the American experience in the War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Did you miss the lecture?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mhc\/2019\/02\/15\/don-zillman-from-woodrow-wilson-to-donald-trump\/\">Tune in here<\/a>&nbsp;for our archived footage).<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-4362_0910ae-dc .kt-block-spacer{height:60px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-4362_0910ae-dc .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#082e58;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-4362_0910ae-dc\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id4362_849356-1c > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4362_849356-1c > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4362_849356-1c > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 2fr) minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4362_849356-1c > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4362_849356-1c > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 2fr) minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4362_849356-1c > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4362_849356-1c alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-left-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column4362_66e769-a4 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4362_66e769-a4 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4362_66e769-a4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4362_66e769-a4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4362_66e769-a4 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4362_66e769-a4 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4362_66e769-a4{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4362_66e769-a4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4362_66e769-a4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4362_66e769-a4\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p>Additionally, we were excited to welcome Dr. Vincent Sherry, a leading scholar of modernism and the literature of World War I, to campus November 15 and 16, 2018.
