Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First - It will surprise you. Some of it is ground that's been covered, but it's put together in a fresh and useful way. It's like being told a great story by an old friend.
Second - Dr. Smith exhibits a sly sense of humor often missing in serious compilations of facts and figures. It creeps up on you slowly, gives you a couple of moments where you will actually laugh out loud, and then maintains a consistent twinkle. He does it without trying, which gives you the impression he can be trusted. His sense of humor accepts that some ludicrous things come to pass, and some things we think of as inevitable, never come close to happening.
Third - Viewing grain as water transfer. Enlightening.
Fourth - Considering the relationship between water and oil. Pretty damn enthralling, if you let it sink in.
Fifth - If you think about these ideas long enough, you will start to consider armageddony things. Yet the book will make you feel surprisingly optimistic.
Sixth - While this book just skims the surface, the ideas in it run the gamut of Yergin's "The Prize." This book could serve as an introduction to "The Prize: Part II." You can see the potential in the future of this story.
Seven - Dr. Smith does not assume technology will save us. Which is refreshing, and necessary. There is a strong feeling of realism in his account.
Eight - The book will spark your imagination more than Disney Land. It will help you fall in love with the North.
Nine - It will make you want to learn Norwegian.
Ten - You will be happy you hit the - Add to Cart - button.
