impact-of-oil-filtered Description:
The renaissance of Canada's petroleum industry following the seminal 1947 discovery of the Leduc oil field near Edmonton had a profound effect on the development of the Canadian economy in the following 20 years. This book describes that impact, and offers a layman's outline of the industry: how oil was formed and accumulated millions of years ago in the pores of rocks, how it is found, produced, transported, refined, marketed, and processed into petrochemical from carpets to lipstick.

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.
