This introduction to the history of oil tells the story of how petroleum shaped human
life since it was first discovered leaking inconspicuously from the soil. Leading
environmental history specialist Brian C. Black connects the subsequent exploitation
of petroleum to patterns in world history while tracing the intricate links between
energy and people after 1850. --from publisher description
