The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World Audiobook

" Brilliant about the history, the current state, and future of energy and the geopolitics of energy...very opened minded and ideologically free of taint. Highly recommended. "

" I would have wanted more technical details but it is an impressive and complete analysis of the energy industry as it is today and as it will be in the future. One thing missing from the book is a discussion of coal and the Fischer tosh process of making gasoline from it. "

" A great insite into the world today and the human evolution of energy. "

" Absolute rubbish from a Pulitzer Prize winner. If ever a book had ADD, this is it. Yergin can't seem to wrap his hands or mind around what he wants to confront here. He's clearly bitten off more than he could chew and as a result this book touches on a myriad of things/personalities/issues without delivering much insight in any one thing "

" Amazing book. Amount of research done by Daniel Yergin is extraordinary. It is a must-read! "

" Very interesting book. Didn't care for Yergin's opinions at times, which were completely unnecessary. He did do a good job of putting the scope of the energy sector into perspective. The book was a bit disjointed, but it probably had to be given the depth of his topic. "

" Really good book on the history of energy. It's hard to do but Daniel Yergin actually made the subject interesting and a compelling read. The book is ridiculously long though. "

" A long but detailed account of the development of the modern world's backbone, energy. Much more to the subject than initially meets the eye, especially the historical narratives that Mr. Yergin incorporates. "

" Good stuff here! Encouraging read. We can do this:) "

" Finally a good book that deals with the global energy issue in an economic, business, social, and scientific aspect. "

" Good narrative history by an author with great insight into the who, what, and why. Surprising number of typos. Only had the time to read 5-6 chapters of key personal interest, but look forward to reading more as time allows. "

" Also long but even better than The Prize. "

" Really interesting, but thick. i will never look at energy quite the same way. "

" Bill, iti multumesc pentru recomandare "

" downloaded this on my ipod - Interesting listening - So far a lot about Russia... "

" Tons of content, some topics more interesting than others. "

" Not quite as good as his other book (The Prize), but a very nice analysis of energy challenges that we will be facing in the years to come. "

" From start to finish - a history of the politics and prestige of energy. "

" Not a book for everyone, but a fascinating summary of how energy makes the world go round. Yergin details the climate change debate, evolution of the petro-states, and renewables. A natural sequel to his even better book, The Prize. "

" Great book for any reader at any level with lots of information on energy, policy making and politics in other countries. "

" A long book on energy. Very worth reading if you want to be informed about the energy situation. Was over 1500 pages on my e-reader but worth the slog. Highly informative and a very readable style. "

" The Quest a great summary of the development of more alternative energy sources. The author concentrates on fossil fuels but includes a lot of information about renewable sources too. It would have been helpful to have more information about the potential and the economics of each type of energy. "

" A thorough, and I mean thorough, analysis of of the recent history of energy. From a global perspective. It is not a light read and I only read it because of a newfound interest in how energy really works. "
