Summary

Oil Boom explores the profound transformation of the United States into a global economic powerhouse, driven by the explosive growth of its oil industry. Delving into American history, the book examines major discoveries, from Pennsylvania to Texas, highlighting how these finds and advancements in technology propelled the rise of oil companies and reshaped regional economies. It reveals how the pursuit of energy independence and access to petroleum resources significantly influenced U.S. foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East, a region crucial for global energy markets. The book charts the oil industry's impact on U.S. economic policy, including antitrust legislation and regulatory frameworks, while assessing its position within the global energy market, considering the influence of OPEC and new oil-producing regions. Oil Boom addresses the challenges posed by fluctuating oil prices, geopolitical instability, and climate change concerns. Through a blend of historical narrative, economic analysis, and political context, the book examines the industry's development, economic and political effects, and the complexities of oil pricing. Unfolding in three sections, the book first examines early oil discoveries, then investigates the economic and political impacts, and finally assesses the U.S. oil industry’s position within the global energy market. By providing a holistic view of the U.S. oil industry, this book offers essential insights into current debates surrounding energy policy, climate change, and U.S. foreign policy, making it valuable for anyone seeking to understand the nation's energy landscape.

Dr Helmut Schuster, Dr David Oxley

A Career Carol is an irreverent take on the classic Christmas Carol, graduation commencement speakers, and Generation Z expectations. A wry and insightful take on how to successfully navigate a 30-to-40-year professional career. 
 
A Career Carol, bridges analogue and digital eras. What constitutes a successful career may have dramatically changed over the last 50 years, but the deeper journey we make as human beings across different life cycles, is eternal.

future.
 
The world, and business literature in particular, is overdue for Shey Sinope. As we witness his journey from reclusive cynical social critic to tentative member of a flawed, and sometimes unkind society, we are amused, provoked, saddened, but ultimately uplifted.

Every Damn Day - The Morning...

Jarvis Leverson

Did You Know… 
When asked to rate their life on a scale of one to five, most people land somewhere around a three. Not terrible… Not great… Just OK. It’s funny how those same people would overlook a restaurant on Yelp if it only had three stars, yet they are satisfied with a 3 star life! 
The Truth is, they aren’t satisfied. They are slowly dying inside because they yearn for more. They know that they are capable of more, but somewhere along the way, they settled for a life far beneath their potential. 
This book was born when I decided to stop settling for low level living and start dominating my life again! I realized I did not need more motivation. I needed a system. That led to the creation of the Five Star Day, a simple daily operating system to build unstoppable consistency and discipline so you don’t just survive the day… you dominate it! 
After reading this book, you’ll build a streak of 5 star days. You'll wake up with outlandish passion, purpose and productivity, not just once, or twice… but Every.Damn.Day! 
Welcome to your 5 Star Life!
