Shale Boom: The Barnett Shale Play and Fort Worth
Diana Davids Hinton's Shale Boom is a gem of a book about the business, technology, politics, and environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” for oil and gas. Since the beginning of the boom in the early 2000s, fracking has doubled U.S. oil and gas production, reshaping global energy markets in the process. While much has been written about fracking as a national phenomenon, Hinton brings the story back to where it all started i…
Shrimp and Petroleum: The Social Ecology of Louisiana’s Offshore Industries
This essay examines the intimate historical relationship between two of south Louisiana’s most important industries, shrimping and offshore oil. Analyzing the social, cultural, and labor dimensions of environmental change, the essay argues that petroleum did not undermine the environmental sustainability of shrimping, as many scholars assert, but rather evolved in an intimate and complementary relationship to it. The organization of labor, transp…
Bucking the Odds: Organized Labor in Gulf Coast Oil Refining
The Gulf Coast of the United States has long been home to the world's largest concentration of petroleum refineries and chemical plants.These sprawling, interconnected complexes of crude oil tanks, distillation columns, fractionating towers, lubricating oil units, alkylation units, dewaxing units, and monstrous catalytic "crackers" churn out the gasoline and other petroleum products that have helped sustain modern American society.Shortly after t…
The Dilemmas of Oil Empire
Americans were the first people to become mass producers and mass consumers of oil, the most powerful fuel and versatile substance ever discovered. During the twentieth century, oil spawned a world-class industry of U.S. oil firms, service companies, and marketers. It produced vast networks of wells, pipelines, refineries, chemical plants, terminals, service stations, and power plants to deliver cheap energy. These complexes served as engines of …
Who Destroyed the Marsh? Oil Field Canals, Coastal Ecology, and the Debate over Louisiana’s Shrinking Wetlands
This paper examines the environmental history of petroleum pipeline canals and their impact on wetland loss in Coastal Louisiana, and how politics and wetland science have shaped restoration efforts over time. Since the 1930s, Coastal Louisiana’s wetlands have provided America with abundant oil and gas resources. The expansion of this vital energy production and transportation corridor, however, has come with a huge environmental price tag, one t…
Extraction Not Creation: The History of Offshore Petroleum in the Gulf of Mexico
Offshore development is one of the most important but least analyzed chapters in the history of the petroleum industry, and the Gulf of Mexico is the most explored, drilled, and developed offshore petroleum province in the world. This essay examines offshore oil and gas development in the Gulf of Mexico, highlighting the importance of access and how the unique geology and geography of the Gulf shaped both access and technology. Interactions betwe…
High-Altitude Energy: A History of Fossil Fuels in Colorado (review)
The history of energy has so far been painted on a large canvas: Fossil fuels were essential to industrialization and have figured prominently in international politics, war, and diplomacy. Having depicted the great sweep of the petroleum and coal industries, historians are just beginning to fill in details, reconstructing the local and regional histories of extraction and consumption. Lee Scamehorn, professor emeritus of history at the Universit…

Banking on Development: Brazil in the United States's Search for Strategic Minerals, 1945–1953
Valentim Getulio Vargas, explained to him in 1942 that 'there are two currents of [US] economic policy. The most prominent one is the Good Neighbor policy ... a departure from that antiquated policy of domination and subjugation.' The other is 'based on commercial and industrial profits, with the same old mentality of exploiting raw materials, which leaves us with holes in the ground and no industries'.1 After the Second World War, the administra…

Rousseau on Universal Education
The poor man has no need of education. The education of his own station in life is forced upon him, he can have no other; the education received by the rich man from his own station is least fitted for himself and for society. Moreover, a natural education should fit a man for any position. Now it is more unreasonable to train a poor man for wealth than a rich man for poverty, for in proportion to their numbers more rich men are ruined and fewer …
