By turns an ardent family saga, scintillating potboiler, and anti-capitalist tirade, \u003ci\u003eOil!\u003c\/i\u003e ranks among the most important critiques of fossil energy ever printed; and while anticipating how fossil fuels have shaped the dilemmas of our present, it also looks toward a greener, more inclusive, and altogether more livable world yet to come. This edition features a contextual introduction by Michael Tondre that illuminates the novel's urgent timeliness in our warming world.","brand":"Upton Sinclair (Author), Michael Tondre (Editor), Michael Tondre (Introduction by)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43811273834723,"sku":"9780143137443","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0356\/3906\/6759\/products\/9780143137443-us.jpg?v=1681832015","url":"https:\/\/littleprofessorbookshop.com\/products\/oil","provider":"Little Professor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
