Krátky popis
'Fascinating revelations' Max Hastings, Sunday Times'An immensely
valuable guide to a great and terrible industry' The Economist 'The
book I have long been waiting for... Essential reading' Michael
KlarePetroleum has always been used by humans: as an adhesive by
Neanderthals, as a waterproofing agent in Noah's Ark and as a
weapon during the Crusades. Its eventual extraction from the earth
in vast quantities transformed light, heat and power.A Pipeline
Runs Through It is a fresh, in-depth look at the social, economic,
and geopolitical forces involved in our transition to the modern
oil age. It tells an extraordinary origin story, from the
pre-industrial history of petroleum through to large-scale
production in the mid-nineteenth century and the development of a
dominant, fully-fledged oil industry by the early twentieth
century. This was always a story of imperialist violence, economic
exploitation and environmental destruction.The near total
eradication of the Native Americans of New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio has barely been mentioned as a precondition for the emergence
of the first oil region in the United States. The growth of Royal
Dutch-Shell involved the genocidal subjugation of people of the
Dutch East Indies and the exploitation of oil in the Middle East
arose seamlessly out of Britain's prior political and military
interventions in the region. Finally, in an entirely new analysis,
the book shows how the British navy's increasingly desperate
dependence on vulnerable foreign sources of oil may have been a
catalytic ingredient in the outbreak of the First World War.The
rise of oil has shaped the modern world, and this is the book to
understand it.
