J.D. House
softcover
Price: CDN$24.95
|
Commercial oil development in Newfoundland is finally underway, 11 years after the Hibernia
discovery on the Grand Banks. This book, published in 1985, is even more relevant now and is a
superb companion volume to Fish versus Oil.
". . . House does a thorough job of combing through information from the experiences of
Scotland and Norway, as well as the performance of oil companies in Alberta and elsewhere . . . Of
particular note are his analysis of industry safety, and the chapter on fish and oil, which contains an
excellent contrast between these respectively weak and strong staples."-- Canadian Review of
Sociology and Anthropology
"This book is important . . . it should be required reading for all
Canadians . . . I cannot recommend it too strongly."--Atlantic Provinces Book Review
