Stories to Understand Past, Present, and Future of Mining

A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice An extraordinary exposé of the industry flooding our world with plastic—and now ramping up to make more than ever “A compelling true-crime story.”&nbsp;—Zoë Schlanger, The New York Times Book Review “Deeply researched, sharply written, and totally compelling.” —Elizabeth Kolbert, author of the The Sixth Extinction “It is impossible not to compare Beth Gardiner’s Plastic Inc. to Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.” —John Vaillant, author of Fire Weather Plastic, the foundational material of modern consumerism, is everywhere in our daily lives. But the oil and petrochemical companies making it are hiding in plain sight. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. Today, industry is pouring billions of dollars into plans to double, or even triple, the amount it churns out, even as individuals concerned about plastic’s out-of-control proliferation try to use less. As Big Oil stares down a future of diminishing demand for fossil fuels, plastic has become its financial lifeline. Award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner gives readers an up-close look at the plastic industry’s relentless growth, its extraordinary profits, its toxic pollution and its hidden role in exacerbating climate change. Every chapter in Plastic Inc. brings new revelations, including how Big Oil pushed the lie that recycling was the answer to our plastic mess, even though companies always knew it couldn't work at scale; the hidden health crisis caused by chemicals and microplastics in the items we use every day; and the alarming parallels between the marketing strategies used by plastic producers and those of tobacco companies and Big Pharma.&nbsp; Plastic Inc.’s gripping stories will reframe for readers a problem many of us think we understand, but which has deeper roots, and greater dangers, than we know.

The Secret History and Shocking Future of Big Oil's Biggest Bet

Plastic Inc

This book explores Moscow’s use of ‘legal smokescreens’ to selectively exploit agreements and undermine neighbouring states’ sovereignty. By examining these tactics, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of Russia's strategy to maintain dominance and its impact on international law and regional stability.

&lt;p&gt;This book explores how China-Brazil relations have been impacted by the oil-related bilateral trade, investments, infrastructure projects and financing – an increasingly consequential aspect of Sino-Brazilian relations, which sheds light on China's energy security concerns and its relationship with oil-rich countries more generally. This book depicts in detail how China’s quest for petroleum has been helping Brazil become an oil power. Written by a Brazilian career diplomat that completed a PhD in Mandarin on the topic of this publication and whose insights into Chinese economics, politics and energy policies are deep, this book will interest scholars, diplomats, economists and professionals in the oil sector.&lt;/p&gt;

Snoop Dogg’s Treats to Eat

How the Middle East can achieve political change and social progress The Middle East is in upheaval: a widening chasm between state and society, the failure of governing elites to address citizens’ genuine grievances, massive economic mismanagement—all made worse by repeated interventions by Western powers. Why has political change been so difficult to achieve? In The Great Betrayal, Fawaz Gerges argues that the convergence of political authoritarianism, meddling by the West, and the effects of prolonged regional conflicts have produced political paralysis and economic stagnation. The agency of everyday people has been thwarted by an authoritarian status quo that is maintained by a powerful partnership of external and internal forces. Gerges traces more than a century of consequential events in the region, from the end of the Ottoman Empire and the European carve-up of the Middle East to the Iranian Revolution and the Arab Spring uprisings. He shows how the people of the Middle East have been systematically denied self-determination, political representation, and effective government. Gerges finds that the region, with its diversity, variability, and volatility, defies abstract grand theories; previous accounts that have attributed the Middle East’s problems to any one cause such as modernism, ignore the complexity and specificity of the issues. What can we learn from the Middle East’s vexed history? Gerges is optimistic, declaring that the region’s future will be determined not by dictators and their superpower patrons but by a growing population of Arab and Muslim youth who demand to be treated as citizens and not as subjects.

The Great Betrayal

Every eighteen hours, the world puts up a nuclear power plant's-worth of solar panels. At the same time, combustion continues to melt the poles, poison our bodies and drive global inequality. It is no longer necessary: For the first time in 700,000 years, we know how to catch the sun's rays and convert them into energy.
In Here Comes the Sun, Bill McKibben tells the story of the spike in power from the sun and wind. McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful, inexpensive solar energy, which, if it accelerates, gives us a chance not just to limit climate change's damage but to reorder the world. Getting there means overcoming obstacles like Big Oil, but McKibben sees a chance for a new civilisation that looks to the sun as the star that fuels our world.

Erstmals seit den Ölpreisschocks der 1970er-Jahre erreichte der Ölpreis während der US-amerikanischen Immobilienkrise 2008 mit 147 US-Dollar pro Barrel ein neues Rekordhoch. Die Benzinpreise von durchschnittlich vier US-Dollar pro Gallone belasteten vor allem Hypothekarschuldner in ländlichen Regionen. In der Folge nahmen die Zahlungsverzüge in diesen Gebieten zu. Saira Ahmed macht anhand des finanzialisierten Ölpreisanstiegs die spekulative Nutzung von Öl durch institutionelle Investoren sichtbar. Sie zeigt, dass die politikwissenschaftliche Finanzialisierungsforschung von einem interdisziplinären Dialog zwischen ökonomischen Ansätzen und wirtschaftsrechtlichen Teilbereichen in historischer Perspektive profitieren kann.

But the bureau badly bungled the investigation. In desperation, its young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to unravel the mystery. Together with the Osage he and his undercover team began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.&nbsp; &nbsp; ‘David Grann has a razor-keen instinct for suspense’&nbsp;LOUISE ERDRICH

Much has been written about China, yet little is known about its role as the world's largest energy consumer, often obscured by misinformation. This book offers a rare historical account of China's oil and gas industry from its origins, tracing back to 1000 AD when the country drilled the world's first well using bamboo to transport gas. Serving as both a textbook for students and a reference for researchers, government officials, and industry executives, this exploration delves into the complete history and evolution of China's oil and gas industry, covering upstream, downstream, onshore, and offshore developments. It addresses the industry's growing demand, its impact on global oil and gas fundamentals, and how geopolitics influences China's energy supply security while forecasting industry evolution within the context of the global energy transition.
