Synopsis "Black Gold: The Story of oil in our Lives"

Thick, foul, and slippery, oil is not pretty but it drives our world. Without it, life as we live it today would be impossible. Oil fuels our engines, heats our homes, and powers our machines. Nations have gone to war, lives have been lost, and fortunes have been made all in the quest for oil. Indeed, oil influences every aspect of modern life.
And what of oil's impact on our future? Its abundance shrinks while our dependence on it continues to grow. Many possible paths lie before us, but none is perfect, and each will require sacrifice if we are to maintain an existence that will be sustainable for generations to come.
Award-winning author Albert Marrin tells the gripping and accessible story of this powerful force that has shaped the history, society, politics, and economy of every country on earth.
