The End of Energy
Forty years of energy incompetence: villains, failures of leadership, and missed opportunities.
The Digital Hand
In The Digital Hand, James W. Cortada combines detailed analysis with narrative history to provide a broad overview of computing's role in sixteen industries, accounting for nearly half of the U.S. economy. Beginning in 1950, when commercial applications of digital technology began to appear, Cortada examines the ways different industries adopted new technologies, as well as the ways their innovative applications influenced other industries and the U.S economy. In addition, to this account of computers' impact on industry, Cortada also demonstrates how industries themselves influenced the nature of digital technology. Managers, economists, and anyone interested in the history of modern business will appreciate this historical analysis of digital technology's many roles and its future possibilities in a wide array of industries. A detailed picture of what the infrastructure of the Information Age really looks like and how we got there, The Digital Hand is a sweeping survey of how computers transformed the American economy.

Oil Bandits
Oil Bandits is a quirky action adventure story with Romantic Comedy overtones. Today is Monday. Bud Warner and his twin brother Clay are young Houston oil tycoon heirs. They are to be married in a double wedding ceremony on Saturday. Their fiancés, Sidney Fleming and Gina Rodriguez, are two very gorgeous, successful business ladies. The wedding is to be presided over by their friend, Reverend Jesse Jackson. Jesse and the boys get sidetracked and go to Indonesia for some business. After completing the business, they try to head home and get framed in a sting. Two Warner oil tankers off the coast of Yemen are destroyed, and six other tankers are hijacked. Their friends counter with a sting, which obtains their release. In another twist, they are kidnapped and placed in a position of compromise with Al Quada, where they meet Osama bin Ladin. After some Chiropractic manipulation and a miracle, Osama befriends the three Americans and releases the six tankers in the U.S. While trekking down the Afghan mountains, United States and Afghan friendly forces capture the three Americans and threaten prosecution for treason. All ends well with a beautiful double wedding.

Project 2015
This work looks ahead to the year 2015 and beyond, seeking to understand how the Amer. armed forces might contribute better to the nation's future security. The authors try to conceptualize how a transformed world situation 20 years from now could affect U.S. security. They describe the most plausible changes likely to develop -- not as prophecy nor as an intelligence forecast, but as a considered statement of those recognizable trends that portend the greatest influence on U.S. security. By being cognizant of such plausible alternatives, American policy makers would have the chance to pursue or avoid them.
Voice of the Marketplace
The National Petroleum Council (NPC) emerged out of the close cooperation between the petroleum industry and the federal government during World War II. An industry-financed advisory committee designed to work closely with the Department of the Interior, it enjoyed a remarkable independence from political or financial pressures. Including representatives of all phases of the petroleum business, the NPC could reach deep within the industry for information on vital issues. In the last fifty-plus years, the Council has evolved into a voice of the marketplace, analyzing conditions in the petroleum industry at the request of the government and publishing its findings in reports widely considered ...
Energy Capitol
Energy Capitol explores the waning of regulatory politics surrounding large-scale energy systems in the United States at the turn of the millennium. Throughout the twentieth century, large-scale energy systems in North America and Europe were highly regulated by a national political community whose decision-making authority relied on positions of bureaucratic and capitalist-led industry organization. After restructuring in energy markets such as natural gas and electricity during the 1980s, the culture of power surrounding political decision-making began to decline. Against this backdrop, Arthur Mason examines the struggle by oil companies and federal-state agencies to deliver natural gas fr...
