Book Description

Though Rembrandt's study of the Bible has long been recognized, his interest in secular literature has been relatively neglected. In this volume, Amy Golahny uses a 1656 inventory to reconstruct Rembrandt's library, discovering anew how his reading of history contributed to his creative process. In the end, Golahny places Rembrandt in the learned vernacular culture of seventeenth-century Holland, painting a picture of a pragmatic reader whose attention to historical texts strengthened his rivalry with Rubens for visual drama and narrative erudition.

Wonderful book!.......2004-06-08

Thank you Ms. Sanders!

This book is great! It helps with out of town guests... I have one sitting on my coffee table and even the neighbors have picked it up for advice on where to go.

Now, whenever I have out of town guests comming, I send them a copy so they can plan their trips. You can only do so much of the touristy thing you know!

This book is also great for creating new and different things to do. Just pack a lunch, hop on the motorcycle and GO! Buy this book.

A must-have for all San Diegans!!.......2004-04-30

Book Description

In The Empty Tank, Jeremy Leggett, an internationally renowned geologist and energy entrepreneur who spent the 1980s working for Big Oil, sounds the alarm about an unprecedented crisis.

The oil topping point–the day half of all the world’s oil is used up–will be reached, by many calculations, sometime soon. In fact, it may already be upon us. When the financial markets realize what’s happening, an economic crash and soaring energy prices will result. The entire global marketplace we all inhabit will crack and crumble.

Oil companies and governments don’t want you to know this. They have been covering up depletion, while stoking addiction and holding back alternatives. Leggett shows how major energy producers have been exposed providing false information about climate change and underground reserves.

He describes how governments collude with private enterprise and one another to keep the global economy hooked on oil. And he explains the science behind oil extraction, demonstrating with unimpeachable expertise why the well is indeed running dry a lot faster than we think.

Written with verve and eloquence, The Empty Tank explains how we became addicted to oil and why that addiction is leading us toward disaster. Yet Leggett also points the way forward. All the technology we need to get off the road to disaster is already at hand. A new Manhattan Project for energy can save us if we can wake up and confront the problem directly, as this important book urges us to do.

"Among the shelf full of books on the oil situation that have been published in the last year or so, (this) is far and away the best."
-Lester Brown, President of the Earth Policy Institute

What’s it all about? ... tough titles made simple by David Shukman
THE EMPTY TANK by Jeremy Leggett

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

OIL, gas, hot air and the global energy crisis, according to the explanation on the front cover. Delving into the nightmare scenario of mankind sleepwalking to global disaster, this book focuses on two related dangers: how we’ll run out of oil far sooner than we think and how burning what’s left of it will warm our planet to a catastrophic level. The central contention is that the oil industry is in a state of denial about the size of its reserves. The scandal over Shell’s distortion of its real figures is said to be the tip of the iceberg. And the conclusion is stark: that we’re all using the black stuff at a far faster rate than geologists are finding new deposits, and that as soon as the truth gets out there’ll be panic in the markets, soaring prices and a mega-crash. It’s scary.

SO IS IT READABLE?

YES, though towards the end some sections lapse into lists of points. But the writing is always clear and conveys complicated but important technicalities in very accessible terms.

Poor "facts" and citations cause this to lack credibility.......2006-03-14

In the first chapter, Mr. Leggett cites two "facts" which don't stand up to any reasonable scrutiny.

First, he asserts that raising the fuel effeciency of light cars and trucks by a mere 2.7 MPG would eliminate the U.S.'s need for Middle Eastern oil imports, which he estimates at 5 million barrels per day (BPD). Given that he cites the total U.S. oil demand at 20 million BPD (which seems to agree with internet sources on recent U.S. demand) -- that means saving a quarter of the oil we consume. But FAR from all of that oil is useb by cars and light trucks. Diesel fuel, heating oil, jet fuel, and the heaviest component used commonly for asphalt are all examples of these other uses. So, in round numbers, he is stating that raising the fuel economy of such vehicles by under 3 MPG will save perhaps a third of such oil they burn. Yet the average MPG of such vehicles is stated at well over 20 MPG. Thus, in round numbers, one would expect a savings of more like under 2 million BPD. He does have a citation for this "fact", making me wonder about all of his citations.

Secondly, he states on the same page as the assertion above that there are SUV's that get only 4 MPG. This is simply ludicrous. On the www.fueleconomy.gov website, the worst SUV (Jeep Grand Cherokee) is cited at 12 MPG City, and the worst car of all (16 cylinder with an 8 litre engine) is cited at 8 MPG City. I noted he doesn't cite this "statistic" - little wonder.

If Mr. Leggett isn't going to bother to check out (or proofread) basic "facts" that the layman can discern, such as these examples above, while trying to give background information -- how is the reader to trust the more technical/geological information we're supposed to rely on him not to distort because (as he's fond of repeating) he is a geologist with experience in the oil industry?

So, I would recommend the reader look elsewhere for a more realistic, better researched, and better documented "fair and balanced" look at this issue.

Interesting points, but poorly written and emotional.......2006-01-10

The topic of peak oil is receiving attention lately, and this book does its part to explain the story. The author's arguements for the early timing of the peak are not wholly convincing, as too much pertinent data is not available to clearly see the picture (as he notes). On the whole the book is written in very colloquial language, and uses an emotional style and language that works against building credibility for the author. Overall there are many interesting points here, but a serious edit is required to bring the quality of the writing up to a standard one would expect when discussing a scientific topic. There are definitely a few nuggets to follow up on if you can slog through the book.

Excellent review, well balanced view of Energy Issues we face.......2006-01-02

As an investor who continue to research this area, I found the book very concise and easy to read without the need for a technical background. A good summary of many related subjects in one book. I share the author's views on depletion and the long term advantages of renewables and its required support and adoption. However, I found his imminent doomsday scenario of a 1929 style depression triggered by 'an empty tank' to be without supporting analysis. If this is a 'wake up' call for industry and society to act, I am all for it.

Fact-Fille, Well Reasoned!.......2005-12-28

Leggett begins by reminding us that oil is vital to almost everything we do. The world currently consumes about 29 billion barrels/year, and U.S. officials estimate this will rise to 43 billion by 2025. With this increase, the U.S. will find itself more tightly tied to mid-East rulers - yet, at least one estimate is that raising CAFE requirements 2.7 mpg would eliminate the need for Saudi and Iranian oil. Instead, we have allowed SUVs to be largely exempted from efficiency requirements, resulting in a DECREASE in mpg in the last decade.

One expert suggests that the U.S. Armed Forces are increasingly being transformed into a global oil-protection force; the U.S. recently invaded oil producer #15 because its ruler was a tyrant using deadly force against his own people, while ignoring #1, #2, #4, #6, #10, #12, #13, and #14 - perhaps the real reason is that producer #15 is also #3 in reserves.

Leggett, a Cambridge PhD in geology, has no doubt that a peak in oil production is coming - the only question is "when?" The most optimistic (U.S. government and oil companies) projections predict the peak will occur in 2030, the least optimistic (leading independent geologists) see this occurring much sooner - 2005. The optimistic rely in part on relief via Alberta's oil sands and Wyoming's oil shale. However, even the most optimistic oil sands estimates foresee about 3 million barrels/day by 2012 (only 3% of total demand), while pessimists are doubtful that enough water and natural gas (for heating the oil) can be utilized to achieve this. Similarly, optimists see 2 million barrels/day from Wyoming oil shale by 2011, while pessimists doubt the environment can support even that.

Another source of optimism is mid-East countries' claims of ability to easily ramp-up production. Leggett writes, however, that even taking them at their word (and there are reasons not to), this would not cover increased demand by 2011 (assuming 1.5%/year increase), or today (assuming a 3.5%/year increase - that of China and the U.S. already).

The one topic presented that I did not understand involves converting coal to gasoline - developed and utilized by Nazi Germany during WWII. Leggett states that China is producing this, and expected total costs are $15/barrel - certainly a bargain at today's prices, but Leggett does not treat this as a potential solution to oil shortages. (It would still produce CO2.)

As for natural gas - Leggettt says 40% of U.S. reserved have been used, 70% of reserves lie within Russia and the mid-East, and U.S. demand is expected to grow 50% by 2025.

Leggett cites a few instances of oil companies threatening individuals and organizations with loss of support for publishing predictions of near-term shortages - the likely reason being immediate and drastic losses in their stock values.

And then there is the accompanying problem of global warming. The insurance industry represents about 10% of the global economy and is at high risk of bankruptcy via superstorms and drought-related fires. The media, however, unintentionally downplay the issue by providing equal time to those claiming "no problem" - despite the growing evidence in support. For example, the ten warmest years in history have all occurred since 1990, and each year since 1997 has fallen into that category. Worse yet, the CO2 rise may be accelerating, per measurements in 2003 and 2004 at the premier site in Hawaii.

Leggett believes we CAN replace oil, natural gas, and coal with renewable energy, but NOT before the shortfall first takes effect. He also cites Lovins that it would be economical to do so - costing $180 billion in the next decade, and saving $130 billion/year by 2025. He is concerned, however, that we may only go part-way, and also increase coal utilization - increasing the severity of global warming.

Reading "The Empty Tank" was a pleasure - despite its important warnings.

Great Geology, Terrible Economics and Politics.......2005-12-17

The first third of the book does a great job of estimating carbon fuel production and consumption in the world. The book should have ended there and been published as a technical pamphlet (for which the author appears to qualified to discuss). The remainder of the book contains the authors non-scientific opinions about global warming, Middle Eastern politics and his obvious dislike of the United States. He implies that the world economy is dependent on carbon fuels, not because they are cheap and plentiful, but because the world was duped throughout the 20th century by large multi-national corporations. The author footnotes frequently, citing such notable sources as filmamker Michael Moore or New York Times op-ed pieces as if they were academic journal articles. All that the author says may be correct, but his credability falls short once he steps beyond the rocks.

Industrial Landscapes

ASIN: 026202361X

Book Description

The Bechers' industrial vision has become an essential part of the way we see today; their head-on, deadpan photographs of pithead gear and water towers and blast furnaces have for more than 30 years expressed a serenely cool, rigorous approach that reduces the individual structures they photograph to variations on an ideal form. In this, their latest work, the Bechers' present four principally different forms of gas holders or gas tanks in 140 photographs taken during the years 1963-1992 in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, and the United States.

The subjects are photographed under overcast skies that eliminate expressive variations in lighting; the Bechers make no attempt to analyze or explain them. Captions contain only the barest of information: time and place. On the subject of gas holders, the Bechers limit their remarks to a minimal functional description, leaving the esthetic dimension of their subject to the photographs themselves: much of the fascination of these photographs lies in the fact that these unadorned metallic structures, presumably built with little concern for their visual impact, are almost invariably striking in appearance.

Bernd and Hilla Becher teach at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. They began their collaborative photographic enterprise in 1957, when they did a study of workers' houses in their native Germany. The Bechers follow in a distinguished line of German photographers that includes August Sander, Albert Renger-Patzsch, and Werner Manz, all of whom contributed in different ways to the definition of "objective" photography.

A Disappearing Feature of the Industrial Landscape.......1998-08-24

A black & white photographic essay on natural gas tank construction. The vessels are primarily located in Germany, although a few are in the USA & England. For those "nimby" folks, it is interesting to observe the locations of these gas tanks - look at the photgraph margins! This book will have limited appeal to the mass-market, although those with "eclectic" tastes or an engineering interest may find these relics of the industrial age fascinating. It was worth the purchase price, and I will be buying other titles of the authors.

If you ever wanted to know how these trucks looked like since the beggining of the oil industry, and its evolution throughout the years, this book will give you a very clear picture. It has lots of fantastic photos, drawings and other interesting details, but in my opinion it's very short of explicative/support text. Although it's only focused on American oil companies, the book is very good, and I had some great moments with it.

Book Description

This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a “borderless world”, cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market. In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another. In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world\'s major cities for "custom fabricated ferrous and nonferrous liquefied petroleum gas tanks" for the year 2007. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales. For many items, latent demand is clearly observable in sales, as in the case for food or housing items. Consider, however, the category "satellite launch vehicles". Clearly, there are no launch pads in most cities of the world. However, the core benefit of the vehicles (e.g. telecommunications, etc.) is "consumed" by residents or industries within the world\'s cities. Without certain cities, in other words, the market for satellite launch vehicles would be lower for the world in general. One needs to allocate, therefore, a portion of the worldwide economic demand for launch vehicles to both regions and cities. This report takes the broader definition and considers, therefore, a city as a part of the global market.

Book Description

This study covers the world outlook for custom fabricated ferrous and nonferrous liquefied petroleum gas tanks across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
