The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations

by Daniel Yergin

Recommendations from our site

“Sections of the book focus on oil and gas, highlighting the recent changes within those sectors and the intriguing dynamics of those changes. The book also explores the intricate relationship between the energy sector and geopolitics. It’s a seamlessly written narrative, integrating the energy transition within the broader tale of energy developments over the past decade. The book’s title hints at its central theme: the evolving landscape of energy. We’re witnessing a reconfiguration of the energy map, characterized by emerging players and significant shifts. Yergin crafts a narrative of this energy transition, particularly aimed at those with a keen interest in the oil and gas sectors. He underscores the reality of these transformations, emphasizing their impact on international dynamics and the titans of the oil and gas world. The book doesn’t settle on a single overarching conclusion. Instead, it’s segmented into several chapters, each of which is easy to navigate and offers its own intriguing insights. This structure ensures a reader-friendly experience, making the content both accessible and engaging.” Read more...
