Please give a warm Moab welcome to Author Antonia Juhasz, next Friday
(Oct 24) at Back of Beyond Bookstore at 7 p.m.
Come hear the story behind "The Tyranny of Oil: The World's Most
Powerful Industry and What We Must Do to Stop It". Author Antonia
Juhasz provides a hard-hitting exposé of the oil industry, answering
today's most pressing energy questions: Why are oil and gasoline
prices rising so quickly? Where will prices go in the future? Who?s
really controlling those prices? How much oil is left? How far will
Big Oil go to get it? And at what cost to the economy, environment,
human rights, worker safety, public health, democracy, and America?s
place in the world?
Drawing on considerable historical research, Juhasz explores the
parallels between today?s companies and Standard Oil, the most
powerful corporation of the early 20th century. With today?s oil
giants charged with collusion, price-gouging, anti-competitive
behavior, undue dominance over our political system, and unabashed
greed, Juhasz calls boldly for the breakup of Big Oil. Tyranny blends
history, original investigative research and reporting, candid
interviews with key insiders, and a unique focus on activism with a
host of real-world policy solutions just in time for the 2008 elections.
Juhasz was recently a guest on NPR's Fresh Air and appeared in the
CNBC documentary, "The Hunt for Black Gold." She is a fellow with Oil
Change International and the Institute for Policy Studies. She is a
senior analyst for Foreign Policy In Focus. She has taught at the New
College of California in the Activism and Social Change Masters
Program and as a guest lecturer on U.S. Foreign Policy at the McMaster
University Labour Studies Program in a unique educational program with
the Canadian Automobile Workers Union.
Ms. Juhasz will be appearing at Back of Beyond Bookstore on Friday,
October 24th at 7 p.m. Books will be available for purchase/signing
at the event or you can pre-order from Arches Book Company.
