Book Giveaway: Oil:Money, Politics, and Power in the 21st Century by Tom Bower

I have one copy of this book to giveaway. Please leave a comment below with your email address to enter. The contest is open to US and Canada only but no PO Box addresses. The winner will be chosen on July 5.

Synopsis:
A groundbreaking, in-depth, and authoritative twenty-year history of the hunt and speculation for our most vital natural resource. OIL Money, Politics, and Power in the 21st Century Twenty years ago oil cost about $7 a barrel. In 2008 the price soared to $148 and then fell to below $40. In the midst of this extraordinary volatility, the major oil conglomerates still spent over a trillion dollars in an increasingly frantic search for more. The story of oil is a story of high stakes and extreme risk.
