- Synopsis
- In this lucid and compelling book, James Laxer introduces readers to the contested history of oil, from the first oil wells in the Russian Empire, Canada and the US in the 1840s and 1850s to the frenzied debate about "peak oil" in the early twenty-first century and the daunting specter of a post-oil world. Laxer carefully examines the multiple effects of oil consumption and production worldwide.
