Recenzii

"Elegant and engaging... No subject is more important for understanding the recent past and preparing for the future." Sunday Times "Engaging and interesting, tightly documented and consistently readable. Freese makes a pasionate plea for a more considered way of treating the earth, its rescources and inhabitants." Daily Telegraph "The incredible story of Britain's black gold." Daily Mail "Fascinating... It lingers hauntingly in the mind." New Statesman "I can think of no substance that has played so important a role in shaping the relative fortunes of competing economies." David Landes, Author of The Wealth and Poverty of Nations
