Forty Years in the Public Interest: A History of the National Energy Board

Published: Vancouver/Toronto: Douglas & Mc- Intyre, 2000
ISBN 1-55054-796-8

books-forty-yearsDescription:
In the late 20th century, global energy supplies—mostly of oil and natural gas—veered wildly between surplus and shortage. Prices swung from levels too low to sustain the development of new energy supplies to levels too high to sustain prosperity. A cartel of oil exporting countries attempted to monopolize the market, and wars and revolutions sent economic tremors around the world. In Canada, conflicts raged between economic nationalism and continentalism. Strains between energy consumers and energy producers, and between the federal government and the provinces, tested Confederation more than once. Since its creation in 1959, the National Energy Board has helped to navigate Canada through this turbulent world of energy.

Out of Print, but Not Out of Luck

The sad reality is that almost all published books are "out-of-print" within two years of publication.

But there are great digital networks linking thousands of used book dealers across Canada, the United States, and Britain. You can purchase used copies of my out-of-print books, or almost any out-of-print books, from any of these services.

I generally use Advanced Book Exchange, a Canadian firm based in Victoria, to buy used books. Visit www.abebooks.com. Two other services are www.bookfinder.com and www.albris.com.
