An expert craftsmanship of sports journalism and a powerful statement about the business of sports and economy. Certain character depictions are fictitious to convey the utter seriousness of a sport's specification where the ownerships of Champcar waged a boycott against IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS). Otherwise, "oil and gas" is a tightening up of economic realities, the real people on the verge of a financial takeover and how such economies work in relation to Major Leagues Sports in historically speaking the most productive times in U.S. economy. The Heists are back and Phil Elmach driving for James Sedgwick. Only in "oil and gas," Elmach joins Jake Coote and the experts in the Sunshine State. Turbochargers made the stealthiest cars, and successively IndyCar's resolution of a sport's escalation costs. To the supercops, the top outfits in the Champcar-IndyCar merger war pose a threat in a downturn economy and the owner-teams recognize that tires aren't the only switch-ups, but teams transferring into IndyCar. In the shuffle of cash, egos, and clashes, everyone gets caught to the comic drama of staying steps ahead of a supercop. In the chase, the story distinguishes myth from the legendary figures. Miles Deere's epic battles fit the grand schemes. Ground effects sold on American March know-how was a version of Desert Storm on neighboring Area 51 and runs open wheel cars in excess of constructor rules. The Heists have nabbed the technology, or at least former American March Jake Coote as advisor-teammate to Elmach's own answers.

The world is currently consuming about 85 million barrels of oil a day, and about two-thirds as much natural gas equivalent, both derived from non-renewable natural sources. In the foreseeable future, our energy needs will come from any available alternate source. Methanol is one such viable alternative, and also offers a convenient solution for efficient energy storage on a large scale. In this updated and enlarged edition, renowned chemists discuss in a clear and readily accessible manner the pros and cons of humankind's current main energy sources, while providing new ways to overcome obstacles. Following an introduction, the authors look at the interrelationship of fuels and energy, and at the extent of our non-renewable fossil fuels. They also discuss the hydrogen economy and its significant shortcomings. The main focus is on the conversion of CO2 from industrial as well as natural sources into liquid methanol and related DME, a diesel fuel substitute that can replace LNG and LPG. The book is rounded off with an optimistic look at future possibilities. A forward-looking and inspiring work that vividly illustrates potential solutions to our energy and environmental problems.

The Mobilgas Economy Runs were annual competitions in which new American production automobiles vied not for speed, but for fuel economy--even as the industry was turning out bigger, more powerful cars year by year. This first complete history of the runs (including the predecessor Gilmore Economy Runs) follows each year's competitors day by day, covers some aspects not reported at the time and features a wealth of photographs. It includes coverage of the related Mobil Mileage Rally, held for imported cars from 1958 through 1961. Complete results for all of the competitions are provided in an appendix.

Social Media and Oil in Southern California: Greenwashing Los Angeles interrogates the politics of invisibility that permeates Southern California’s oil industry. Most residents are completely unaware that hospitals, schools, businesses, and homes are built among the thousands of active wells in Los Angeles County. Since the early 1900’s, the oil industry used social media to greenwash itself and obscure the material consequences of drilling and refining. From postcards to YouTube, social media has been a key tool in the arsenal of the fossil fuel industry. Jason L. Jarvis argues that oil–not Hollywood–is the key industry that drives the California dream. Scholars of communication, environmental studies, and rhetoric will find this book of particular interest.

Eleven contributions from North American scholars discuss "cybercapitalism" and the transnationalization of the capitalist political economy. They assess the extent of continental integration throughout the culture, media, telecommunications, and information industries since the 1989 Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA) and the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). A sampling of topics includes networking the North American higher education industry, the print media in Canada and Mexico, and the North American entertainment economy. c. Book News Inc.
