THE NEW MAP - DANIEL YERGIN KARTONIERT (TB)

Pulitzer Prize-winning author and global energy expert  Daniel Yergin offers a revelatory new
account of how energy revolutions  climate battles  and geopolitics are mapping our future  The
world is being shaken by the collision of energy  climate change  and the clashing power of
nations in a time of global crisis. The "shale revolution" in oil and gas has transformed the
American economy  ending the "era of shortage"  but introducing a turbulent new era. Almost
overnight  the United States has become the world's number one energy powerhouse-and  during
the coronavirus crisis  brokered a tense truce between Russia and Saudi Arabia. Yet concern
about energy's role in climate change is challenging our economy and way of life  accelerating
a second energy revolution in the search for a low carbon future. All of this has been made
starker and more urgent by the coronavirus pandemic and the economic dark age that it has
wrought.  World politics is being upended  as a new cold war develops between the United States
and China  and our rivalry with Russia grows more dangerous. Vladimir Putin and China's Xi
Jinping are converging both on energy and on challenging American leadership  as China projects
its power and influence in all directions. The map of the Middle East  laid down after World
War I  is challenged by jihadists  revolutionary Iran  ethnic and religious clashes  and
restive populations. But the region has also been shocked by the two recent oil price
collapses-one from the rise of shale  the other the coronavirus-and by the very question of
oil's future in the rest of this century.  A master storyteller and global energy expert 
Daniel Yergin takes the reader on an utterly riveting and timely journey across the world's new
map. He illuminates the great energy and geopolitical questions in an era of rising political
turbulence and points to the profound challenges that lie ahead.  Story Locale: Global
