Download or read book A Geophysicist s Memoir written by Albert Hrubetz and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting on his 63 years as a geophysicist in the global petroleum industry, Dallas oilman Al Hrubetz traces his journey from the collapse of coal to the emergence of oil as a driving force in the energy world. The tough times of his Depression-era, coal-town boyhood shaped Hrubetz's daring outlook and devil-may-care acumen for overcoming obstacles in the oilfield and the boardroom. A born leader with patriotic reverence, a wry sense of humor and the calculated intellect of a seasoned gambler, Hrubetz recounts his experiences with vivid precision. His memoir peers into a hardscrabble boyhood, post-WWII Marines, covert oil exploration in Dubai, Guatemala, Alaska and even major U.S. cities, all the while juggling the challenges of moving his growing family across the map. His compelling story tracks the evolution of the oil industry over the decades, as he worked up to the C-suite at large oil companies like CONOCO and Texas Pacific Oil, as well as heading up exploration departments at smaller independent companies. He provides candid insight into hard-won or lost oil deals and the oilmen he encountered along the way. In detailing the specifics of his foray into opening his own Hrubetz Oil Company, Hrubetz lays out the intricate planning that went into launching HOC and keeping it and subsequent oil-related businesses afloat through volatile oil industry twists and turns. Additionally, he spotlights the workings of petroleum industry organizations where he served in leadership roles, further contributing to his prominence in the field. More than a glimpse into the work of a geophysicist, Hrubetz's book escorts the reader into the mind of an authentic innovator who carved a unique niche in the burgeoning world of oil. More than a timeline of oil's evolution in American history, Hrubetz's memoir harks back to a pivotal juncture when the shift in energy changed America forever, and brings it forward, making his story keenly relevant today.

Download or read book Oil in Texas written by Diana Davids Hinton and published by . This book was released on 2002-03-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the twentieth century began, oil in Texas was easy to find, but the quantities were too small to attract industrial capital and production. Then, on January 10, 1901, the Spindletop gusher blew in. Over the next fifty years, oil transformed Texas, creating a booming economy that built cities, attracted out-of-state workers and companies, funded schools and universities, and generated wealth that raised the overall standard of living--even for blue-collar workers. No other twentieth-century development had a more profound effect upon the state. In this book, Roger M. Olien and Diana Davids Olien chronicle the explosive growth of the Texas oil industry from the first commercial production at Corsicana in the 1890s through the vital role of Texas oil in World War II. Using both archival records and oral histories, they follow the wildcatters and the gushers as the oil industry spread into almost every region of the state. The authors trace the development of many branches of the petroleum industry--pipelines, refining, petrochemicals, and natural gas. They also explore how overproduction and volatile prices led to increasing regulation and gave broad regulatory powers to the Texas Railroad Commission.

Download or read book The Path to a Modern South written by Walter L. Buenger and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forces that turned Northeast Texas from a poverty-stricken region into a more economically prosperous area. Winner, Texas State Historical Association Coral H. Tullis Memorial Award for best book on Texas history, 2001 Federal New Deal programs of the 1930s and World War II are often credited for transforming the South, including Texas, from a poverty-stricken region mired in Confederate mythology into a more modern and economically prosperous part of the United States. By contrast, this history of Northeast Texas, one of the most culturally southern areas of the state, offers persuasive evidence that political, economic, and social modernization began long before the 1930s and prepared Texans to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the New Deal and World War II. Walter L. Buenger draws on extensive primary research to tell the story of change in Northeast Texas from 1887 to 1930. Moving beyond previous, more narrowly focused studies of the South, he traces and interconnects the significant changes that occurred in politics, race relations, business and the economy, and women's roles. He also reveals how altered memories of the past and the emergence of a stronger identification with Texas history affected all facets of life in Northeast Texas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, and their contemporaries frequently influences our ideas about house design at the midcentury, most Americans during this period lived in homes built by little-known builders who also served as developers of the communities. Often dismissed as "little boxes, made of ticky-tacky," the tract houses of America's postwar suburbs represent the twentieth century’s most successful experiment in mass housing. Houses for a New World is the first comprehensive history of this uniquely American form of domestic architecture and urbanism. Between 1945 and 1965, more than thirteen million houses—most of them in new ranch and split-level styles—were constructed on large expanses of land outside city centers, providing homes for the country’s rapidly expanding population. Focusing on twelve developments in the suburbs of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles, Barbara Miller Lane tells the story of the collaborations between builders and buyers, showing how both wanted houses and communities that espoused a modern way of life—informal, democratic, multiethnic, and devoted to improving the lives of their children. The resulting houses differed dramatically from both the European International Style and older forms of American domestic architecture. Based on a decade of original research, and accompanied by hundreds of historical images, plans, and maps, this book presents an entirely new interpretation of the American suburb. The result is a fascinating history of houses and developments that continue to shape how tens of millions of Americans live.
