520    "This concise, accessible introduction to the history of 
       oil tells the story of how petroleum has shaped human life
       since it was first discovered oozing inconspicuously from 
       the soil. For a century, human dependence on petroleum 
       caused little discomfort as we enjoyed the heyday of cheap
       crude -- a glorious episode of energy gluttony that was 
       destined to end. Today, we see the disastrous results in 
       environmental degradation, political instability, and 
       world economic disparity in the waning years of a 
       petroleum-powered civilization -- lessons rooted in the 
       finite nature of oil. Considering the nature of oil itself
       as well as humans' remarkable relationship with it, Brian 
       C. Black spotlights our modern conundrum and then explores
       the challenges of our future without oil. It is this 
       essential context, he argues, that will prepare us for our
       energy transition. Bringing his global perspective and 
       wide-ranging technical knowledge, Black has written an 
       essential contribution to environmental history and the 
       rapidly emerging field of energy history in this sweeping,
       forward-looking survey."--|cProvided by publisher
