This timely book looks at the world's production of oil and our
dependence on this natural resource. The majority of today's forms
of transportation run on fuel that comes from oil, and hundreds of
thousands of the items we use every day come from oil or oil-based
products. Readers will find out about the origins of oil and its
first use in industry, and learn how it is found, mined, and
processed into many different products that are used all over the
world. Real-world examples also consider the environmental and
human disasters related to oil, encouraging discussion of the
ethics and worldwide impact of the production, distribution, and
consumption of this global resource. Possible alternatives to using
oil are also discussed now that this important, non-renewable
natural resource is running out.
