Daniel Yergin's first prize-winning book, Shattered Peace, was a history of the Cold War. Afterwards the young academic star joined the energy project of the Harvard Business School and wrote the best-seller Energy Future. Following on from there, , winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction, is a comprehensive history of one of the commodities that powers the world--oil. Founded in the 19th century, the oil industry began producing kerosene for lamps and progressed to gasoline. Huge personal fortunes arose from it, and whole nations sprung out of the power politics of the oil wells. Yergin's fascinating account sweeps from early robber barons like John D. Rockefeller, to the oil crisis of the 1970s, through to the Gulf War.
Energy consultant Yergin limns oil's central role in most of the wars and many international crises of the 20th century. "A timely, information-packed, authoritative history of the petroleum industry, tracing its ramifications, national and geopolitical, to the present day," said PW. Photos. Author tour.

This book does not require recent events in the Persian Gulf to make it an essential addition for most public libraries as well as all college libraries. Written by one of the foremost U.S. authorities on energy, it is a major work in the field, replete with enough insight to satisfy the scholar and sufficient concern with the drama and colorful personalities in the history of oil to capture the interest of the general public. Though lengthy, the book never drags in developing its themes: the relationship of oil to the rise of modern capitalism; the intertwining relations between oil, politics, and international power; and the relationship between oil and society in what Yergin calls today's age of "Hydrocarbon Man." Parts of the story have been told as authoritatively before, e.g., in Irvine Anderson's Aramco: The United States and Saudi Arabia ( LJ 7/81), but never in as comprehensive a fashion as here.

Impassioned and riveting...only in the great epics of Homer will readers regularly run into a comparable string of larger-than-life swashbucklers and statesmen, heroes and villains.
A compelling and comprehensive history. . . . [Yergin] writes quiet unexaggerated prose, comprehensible to non-specialists, and artfully manages vast research . . . his narrative proceeds like a developing photograph of our times.
Splendid and epic...brilliantly told.

A masterly narrative...The Prize portrays the interweaving of national and corporate interests, the conflicts and stratagems, the miscalculations, the follies, and the ironies.

翻译远不如上海译文那一版。阅读体验不佳。很多语句,不是中国人的语言习惯。中信这版本,不如译文那版《石油风云》感觉更贴近阅读习惯。 耶金本身作为专栏作家,是很会写故事的人,而此版译者削弱了阅读的乐趣。对照英文版来读,可能还比阅读此版本更加轻松。 中文版,更建议...
评分辛格尔曾说:谁控制了石油,谁就控制了所有国家;谁控制了粮食,谁就控制了人类;谁掌握了货币发行权,谁就掌控了世界。石油被称为“工业的血液”,足以说明石油的重要性,物依稀为贵,更不用说这些不可再生资源,这不仅是宝贵的自然资源,更是重要的战略物资,随着科技的提升...
评分对于数字不敏感的我来说,这本书真是考验。好几次被弄的晕头转向。看到这么多例子和数字。我到最后几乎是怀着敬畏的心情看完的。
