In his book, Sernovitz explains what he sees as the reality of fracking, what it is, how it can be made safer and how the oil business works. He also tells the bigger story.

The revolution has transformed the world with consequences for the oil industry, investors, environmentalists, political leaders and anyone who lives in areas shaped by the shales, uses fossil fuels or cares about the climate. |
