"An insight into the global battle for our energy future. The global competition for
scarce natural resources that pits the West against the super-hot economies of China
and India, plus a clutch of other contenders including Russia, Brazil, and Indonesia,
has become one of the biggest issues facing the world today. Whether it is the rare
metal lithium found in salt pans in the Andes, gas from the Caspian Sea, oil off the
coast of Brazil, coal from Africa's Zambezi River, or uranium from Kazakhstan, China
and India are desperate to ensure the security of their future energy supplies. The
same goes for food and water, as contamination and over-use take their toll, the need
to provide continued access for the next generation and beyond has increased exponentially.
Geoff Hiscock explores the problems, potential solutions, and inevitable tensions
in this ongoing scramble for finite natural resources."--Provided by publisher
