The leather-bound book "In Search of Energy" by Yergin Daniel

Daniel Yergin's book was conceived as an attempt to understand the issues of shaping the energy picture of the world and to talk about the problems of modern energy. Despite the incredible complexity of the topic, the book is written in simple and understandable language and reads more than just fascinating. For example, already in the preface to his book, Daniel Yergin explains very clearly the relationship between any social crisis in the Persian Gulf countries and an instant increase in oil prices around the world, and also talks about what political power and benefits access to energy sources gives a country, what security guarantees it provides, and what kind of responsibility does it imply. The book goes on to address such issues as: • The path of nuclear energy development after World War II;
• Features of the oil world map formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union;
• Transformation of the American natural gas market as a result of George Mitchell's "shale boom";
• Search for new energy sources;
• The importance of renewable energy sources for the global economy of the 21st century;
• The mutual influence of environmental issues and energy.
