    Description of Black Gold

    This book analyzes how the falling production and rising demand of oil has enabled savvy companies and investment banks to cash in with Black Gold. You'll find investment suggestions - from ETFs and energy futures to hedge funds - that will allow you to reap substantial profits from current and future situations as well as short human-interest stories that illustrate every issue discussed. You'll also find a timeframe for the peak of oil production - one that is more realistic and gaining acceptance with both scientists and economists. Drawing on historical background, current issues, and expectations of the energy road ahead, "Black Gold" offers information you'll appreciate and understand so you can make the most of a market poised to grow exponentially in the years ahead.

    Reviews

    "An interesting and impressive book on an important subject."
    - Anya Schiffrin
    Director of Journalism Programs at the Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia University

    "There has been no hotter market than oil - the commodity and the industry - and this book provides much useful information on the current and future situation. A cogent analysis, it sheds much light on some of the major issues facing the industry - and investors - today. A good read from a much-practiced journalist."
    - Michael C. Lynch President, Strategic Energy and Economic Research Inc.

    "Black Gold lays out in easy-to-read language the peak oil argument and outlines why the debate over peak oil is becoming so intense. Orwel explains why oil is, indeed, black gold and highlights the investment implications of peak oil."
    - Matt Simmons
