A great introduction to the energy landscape, the history and politics surrounding it, and the future direction and uncertainties involved. Packed with information and no space wasted.

Must read for professionals in energy sector

I found this a super interesting, clearly written summary of energy related geopolitics. Very up to date too

best book

I bought this with a high expectation given the fame of the author.But unfortunately a lot of what is covered has been covered in news generally. A shorter report from a research house will do as good a job in compiling the recent trends. The book doesn't add much to your knowledge, esp with the time it demands.What is missing - fresh insights, projections and investigations on geo-politics, graphs and charts.Good if one is looking for a story-form compilation of recent energy related compilations.

Just a good read. Hard to put this book down. We are where we are today because of the shifting focus and interest of our own consumption of the different types of resources mother earth has given us.

A rigorous and complete analysis of the geopolitical and economic movement based on energy and sources. Very rich in data and insights.

Información fresca y actualizada. Yergin es garantía para este gran tema, en especial en lo que concierne e las nuevas tecnologías. Sobre todo el poder narrativo y las sorpresas que se va uno topando hacen este libro especialmente digerible, tanto para interesados como especialistas. Mi sugerencia sería un adendum técnico sobre el Fracking, para entender un poco más al respecto, al igual que para el proceso de liquidificación del gas metano. No estaría mal.

I retired from the company partly owned by the author, Daniel Yergin. I did not know him personally, but have heard him speak a number of times and have read every book he has written. He probably has as much insight on the geopolitical dynamics of the global energy landscape as anyone alive, and he has a real ability to pick out what is important, summarize, and make it understandable. He also takes what might appear to be a dry topic and turn it into a compelling read. This book was published before the invasion of Ukraine, and even before Biden was elected. But as you read, it will be clear Mr. Yergin would not have been surprised by current events. (This book is definitely not a partisan political book, and you will find no political arguments within).During the summer of 2020 I had the privilege of attending a Zoom meeting in which Mr. Yergin was being interviewed about this book. At the time, Biden was campaigning on his desire to put the US oil and gas industry out of business. I had the chance to ask Mr. Yergin about this. At the time, he said that, despite the rhetoric, he did not think Mr. Biden would want to be the president to jeopardize US energy independence. I’m curious what he might think about this administration’s current policy. (As I said, Mr. Yergin is non-political and would be unlikely to be too critical.)

Danie Yergin sigue discribiendo de una forma muy clara y racional la realidad geopolítica con básis al tema de la energia. Muy actual - al pesar de haberse escrito antes de la guerra de Ucrania, permite antecipar eso movimiento de Putin. Nos deja algo ansiosos con lo que hará China en los próximos años. Un libro esencial. He adquirido otro para ofrecer a un amigo, y lo recomiendo a todos.

The book itself will be a great read. I have always enjoyed Daniel Yergin's writings. But the packaging of this book -- even though it was in its factory-sealed plastic wrap -- was extraordinary! And shipped by FedEx -- no worries here.
