Book excerpt: A Los Angeles Times Best Non-Fiction Book of 2007 A Boston Globe Best Non-Fiction Book of 2007 Amazon.com Editors pick as one of the 10 best history books of 2007 Winner of the 2007 John Lyman Award for U. S. Maritime History, given by the North American Society for Oceanic History "The best history of American whaling to come along in a generation." —Nathaniel Philbrick The epic history of the "iron men in wooden boats" who built an industrial empire through the pursuit of whales. "To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme," Herman Melville proclaimed, and this absorbing history demonstrates that few things can capture the sheer danger and desperation of men on the deep sea as dramatically as whaling. Eric Jay Dolin begins his vivid narrative with Captain John Smith's botched whaling expedition to the New World in 1614. He then chronicles the rise of a burgeoning industry—from its brutal struggles during the Revolutionary period to its golden age in the mid-1800s when a fleet of more than 700 ships hunted the seas and American whale oil lit the world, to its decline as the twentieth century dawned. This sweeping social and economic history provides rich and often fantastic accounts of the men themselves, who mutinied, murdered, rioted, deserted, drank, scrimshawed, and recorded their experiences in journals and memoirs. Containing a wealth of naturalistic detail on whales, Leviathan is the most original and stirring history of American whaling in many decades.

Book excerpt: "1876, Dr. Nikolaus Otto invented the internal combustion engine, a revolutionary development providing a lasting impact on all aspects of socio-economic considerations. Yet, it is an inefficient mechanical invention not advancing in 150 years. The reciprocal action of the engine requires two forms of fossil fuel: oil for lubrication and gas for force. This requirement is problematic since the U.S. transportation sector accounts for the predominance of the nearly 19 million barrels of oil consumed per day. Clearly, the inextricable link between the internal combustion engine and oil leads to an inevitable energy security problem. This concern has led President Obama to call for a promotion of alternative energy fuels. This paper advocates supporting the President's strategy by advancing hydrogen fuel cell technology by the U.S. Department of Defense to replace the internal combustion engine. Build ing the case, this paper highlights the American oil dependency and the perpetual problem the internal combustion engine creates, compares viable alternative engines and recommends a suitable replacement. Finally, the paper proves the Department of Defense must development capabilities to implement fuel cell technology past any status quo scenario. The fuel cell is an established solution as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration gravitated to this power source starting in the late 1950's. However, implementation will require Department of Defense to take the initiative, since it is counterintuitive to expect the auto industry or petroleum corporations to interrupt their multi-billion dollar a year business. A proper phase - in implementation of hydrogen technology can save lives and money as well as provide a template for a national application and economic security to shift away from its dependence on the internal combustion engine."--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unconventional Petroleum Geology, Second Edition presents the latest research results of global conventional and unconventional petroleum exploration and production. The first part covers the basics of unconventional petroleum geology, its introduction, concept of unconventional petroleum geology, unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, and the origin and distribution of unconventional oil and gas. The second part is focused on unconventional petroleum development technologies, including a series of technologies on resource assessment, lab analysis, geophysical interpretation, and drilling and completion. The third and final section features case studies of unconventional hydrocarbon resources, including tight oil and gas, shale oil and gas, coal bed methane, heavy oil, gas hydrates, and oil and gas in volcanic and metamorphic rocks. Provides an up-to-date, systematic, and comprehensive overview of all unconventional hydrocarbons Reorganizes and updates more than half of the first edition content, including four new chapters Includes a glossary on unconventional petroleum types, including tight-sandstone oil and gas, coal-bed gas, shale gas, oil and gas in fissure-cave-type carbonate rocks, in volcanic reservoirs, and in metamorphic rocks, heavy crude oil and natural bitumen, and gas hydrates Presents new theories, new methods, new technologies, and new management methods, helping to meet the demands of technology development and production requirements in unconventional plays

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are facing a crisis that threatens the sustainability of the entire planet. Civilisation has been defined up to now by how efficiently we handle our energy needs. The focus on short-term and tangibles obscures the true vision of technology users. Perpetual justifications of progressively less efficient technologies as panaceas has become a rampant source of the profoundest disinformation. No sector has fallen bigger victim to this disinformation campaign than the petroleum industry. Today, the most efficient naturally processed fuel (fossil fuel) production is synonymous with unsustainability and compatibility with nature and the environment. Accompanying this slogan is the environmentalists drumbeat about renewable energy. Everywhere people are sold on the idea that even genetically altered vegetable oil is sustainable and efficient whereas natural crude oil exploitation is not. With this slogan, it has become fashionable to replace the agricultural industry with renewable energy production and try to replace fossil fuel energy with nuclear energy.The industry that single-handedly served mankind a globalisation panacea on a silver platter has now become a villain worthy of being replaced with the makers of nuclear bombs and DDT. Similarly, carbon dioxide -- the essence of life and energy, through photosynthesis -- has become the other villain that must be sequestered and possibly replaced by hydrogen and even radioactive nuclear spent fuel.
