    Oil and Glory at the University

    For the number of professors who are assigning The Oil and the Glory to their classes, I'm happy to discuss or reply to students' questions right here on the blog or directly by email (link at the bottom of the home page).

    New York University is among those reading the book. I was delighted to speak myself to one of the classes last week -- Professor Carter Page's course Energy, Environment and Resource Security. In addition, Prof. Carolyn Kissane has assigned it to her course, Transformations in Central Asia: A Global Context. Thanks to Profs. Page and Kissane for getting the topic out before the next generation.
