O tym produkcie

Product Information

For decades, BP and Shell extracted the minerals, finance and skills of the UK. Always behind the scenes, Big Oil drove Britain's economy and profoundly influenced its culture. Then, at the start of the 21st Century, the tide seemed to go out - Britain's refineries and chemical plants were quietly closed; the North Sea oilfields declined. Now, while the country goes through the seismic upheavals of Brexit and the climate emergency, many believe the age of oil to be almost passed. However, as Crude Britannia reveals, reports of the industry's death are greatly exaggerated. Taking the reader on a journey across Britain - from North East Scotland, Merseyside and South Wales to the Thames Estuary and London - James Marriott and Terry Macalister tell the story of Britain's oil-stained past, present and future; of empire, economic deprivation and continuing political influence. The authors speak to oil company executives and oil traders, as well as former shipyard and refinery workers, film makers and musicians, activists and politicians, putting real people and places at the heart of a compelling political analysis. Offering a rare insight on how to read the history of modern Britain, Crude Britannia shows what needs to be done to create a new energy system, that tackles climate change and underpins a fairer democratic society.

Reviews
'Truly remarkable. [...] a unique insight into Britain's role and experiences in an oil addicted world' Herbert Girardet, Executive Committee Member, Club of Rome 'A marvellously rich account of how the oil industry has come to shape contemporary Britain' David Beetham, Emeritus Professor of Politics at Leeds, 'A stimulating firework display of a book ... Crude Britannia demonstrates that, even in the midst of the pressures of practical struggle against the threat of extinction, historical understanding matters' 'The Ecologist', 'Tells you all you need to know about oil's part in the industrialisation and deindustrialisation of Britain - how lives were built, how they were destroyed and how we now need to urgently build a green, just and sustainable economy', 'Compelling. [...] Marriott and Macalister take on the roles of sleuth, archaeologist, and witness to tell a story of oil, money and politics which changed millions of people's lives' Madeleine Bunting, author of 'Love of Country: A Hebridean Journey' (Granta, 2017) 'As a former oil geologist who worked offshore during the heyday of the North Sea oil boom, I was transported back to those times. This book beautifully captures the mood and spirit of the time, and with a forensic approach it unravels the various political and financial events that took place between the UK government and the oil companies' Tim Fairs, former Oil Geologist for Chevron, 'Vivid and detailed' Financial Times 'A harrowing read ... Marriott and Macalister interweave history and psychogeography. This is refreshing if not seamless: as the narrative style shifts from reportage to the rhythms of speech and prayer you would find in a David Peace novel' Guardian, 'Told with passion and wit, this is a brilliantly original account of oil's lasting national imprint' Gavin Bridge, Professor of Geography, Durham University 'A poignant and wonderfully crafted journey that connects the oil industries and global capitalism with local stories. The authors are thoughtful storytellers guiding us through this journey' Farzana Khan, writer and Executive Director of Healing Justice London, 'Superbly illustrates how the UK's toxic relationship with oil has defined our politics, our lives and our culture. An engrossing read' Jon King, Gang of Four 'A vivid, compelling and very human account of how big oil has infiltrated our lives, the people it's enriched and those it's abandoned' Caroline Lucas MP, 'Tells you all you need to know about oil's part in the industrialisation and deindustrialisation of Britain - how lives were built, how they were destroyed and how we now need to urgently build a green, just and sustainable economy' Rebecca Long-Bailey MP 'Dripping with delicious detail' Aditya Chakrabortty, 'Guardian' journalist
