THE QUEST
From Amazon:
In this gripping account
of the quest for the energy that our world needs, Daniel Yergin continues the
riveting story begun in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Prize.
A master storyteller as
well as a leading energy expert, Yergin shows us how energy is an engine of
global political and economic change. It is a story that spans the energies on
which our civilization has been built and the new energies that are competing
to replace them. From the jammed streets of Beijing to the shores of the
Caspian Sea, from the conflicts in the Mideast to Capitol Hill and Silicon
Valley, Yergin takes us into the decisions that are shaping our future. The
drama of oil - the struggle for access, the battle for control, the insecurity
of supply, the consequences of use, its impact on the global economy, and the
geopolitics that dominate it - continues to profoundly affect our world.
Yergin tells the inside
stories of the oil market and the surge in oil prices, the race to control the
resources of the former Soviet empire, and the massive mergers that transformed
the landscape of world oil. He tackles the toughest questions: Will we run out
of oil? Are China and the United States destined to come into conflict over
oil? How will a turbulent Middle East affect the future of oil supply?
