By turns an ardent family saga, scintillating potboiler, and anti-capitalist tirade, Oil! ranks among the most important critiques of fossil energy ever printed; and while anticipating how fossil fuels have shaped the dilemmas of our present, it also looks toward a greener, more inclusive, and altogether more livable world yet to come. This edition features a contextual introduction by Michael Tondre that illuminates the novelâs urgent timeliness in our warming world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20240327. 650 $a Petroleum industry and trade $v Fiction. 650 $a Motion picture industry $v Fiction. 651 $a California, Southern $x Fiction. 655 $a Political fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. 700 $a Tondre, Michael, $e author of introduction. 830 $a Penguin classics. 941 $a 1 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20240608010337.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76A3BE14255C11EF8EDB874227ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
