: 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? :
: :
: Yergin also reveals the surprising and sometimes tumultuous history of :
: nuclear and coal, electricity, and the "shale gale" of natural gas, and how:
: each fits into the larger marketplace. He brings climate change into unique:
: perspective by offering an unprecedented history of how the field of :
: climate study went from the concern of a handful of nineteenth- century :
: scientists preoccupied with a new Ice Age into one of the most significant :
: issues of our times. :
: :
: He leads us through the rebirth of renewable energies and explores the :
: distinctive stories of wind, solar, and biofuels. He offers a perspective :
: on the return of the electric car, which some are betting will be necessary:
: for a growing global economy. :
: :
: The Quest presents an extraordinary range of characters and dramatic :
: stories that illustrate the principles that will shape a robust and :
: flexible energy security system for the decades to come. Energy is humbling:
: in its scope, but our future requires that we deeply understand this global:
: quest that is truly reshaping our world. :
