I've updated the book to capture comments and to expand the section of what an oil field look like and why there are geological and water injection limits. Also got the then president of Egypts name right this time!

Oh, big problems. Take a look at 'Six Days - the end of the world as we know it and the future of global energy' You can read it for free on my web site, www.lornegifford.webs.com.
