The oil road : journeys from the Caspian Sea to the city of London
James Marriott (Author), Mika Minio-Paluello (Author)
"From Caspian drilling rigs and Caucasus mountain villages to Mediterranean fishing communities and European capitals, Marriott and Minio-Paluello take readers on a journey that maps the true cost of oil. Blending travel writing and investigative journalism, 'The Oil Road" captures our modern obsession with fossil fuels, encompassing in its broad sweep the revolutionary futurism of the 1920s Baku, the unblinking capitalism of modern London, and much in between--the artifacts of an industry that has shaped the world and now threatens to destroy it. This paperback edition includes a new afterword detailing the nascent gas roads now treading their way across the globe"--Page 4 of cover
