Why are oil and gas prices so high? Who's really controlling those prices? How much oil is left? How far will Big Oil go to get it? And at what cost to the environment, human rights, the economy, worker safety, public health, and democracy? The answers aren't what you think. They're much worse. But there's also plenty that we can do about it. Local international trade expert, Antonia Juhasz offers both a new take on problems and a new set of solutions for reining in the oil industry while reducing global dependence on oil. Antonia Juhasz is a policy-analyst, author and activist living in San Francisco. She is a fellow with Oil Change International and the Institute for Policy Studies as well as a senior analyst for Foreign Policy In Focus. (Publisher: William and Morrow Company)
