Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This easy-to-read book presents an elementary yet comprehensive introduction to modern energy economics. Mathematical content is kept to a minimum, and advanced numerical concepts are placed in appendices. The two survey chapters are suitable for readers with little or no formal training in economics. Differing greatly from other energy textbooks, the book aims to provide the reader with an informed advantage. Principally intended as a textbook for undergraduate economics students, it can also be used for self-study or as a reference material.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed Reader, July 3, 2009
This is simply an incredibly awful book. His style of writing, at least for this book, is a stream of consciousness riddled with opinion not substantiated by the preceding text itself. Don't waste your time with this. If you want a book on oil and geopolitics, read something by Klare.
