Oil: A Concise Guide To The Most Important Product On Earth

Matthew Yeomans begins his investigation into the role of oil in America by trying to spend a day without oil--only to stumble before exiting the bathroom (petroleum products play a role in shampoo, shaving cream, deodorant, and contact lenses). When 'Oil' was published in cloth, it was quickly recognized as the wittiest and most accessible guide to the product that drives the U.S. economy and undergirds global conflict.
