IHS CERA Chairman Daniel Yergin’s new book, The Quest: Energy, Security and the Remaking of the Modern World, will debut at number four on the New York Times Bestseller List for nonfiction when the new list is published Sunday, October 9.
The Quest—released September 20 by The Penguin Press—has
already been called “necessary reading” by the New York Times in its review. It has also been hailed as a “another
triumph” by the Financial Times and a
“masterly piece of work” by The Economist.
Excerpts of the book and additional bonus materials are available at www.danielyergin.com.
The Quest continues the story
begun by Dr. Yergin’s previous book, The
Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power, which was also was a New York Times bestseller and went on to
win the Pulitzer Prize. The Quest
brings that story to the present and expands it to focus on the full spectrum
of sources fueling the energy future—from oil and gas, to wind and solar and
advancements in efficiency.
“We are really in the midst of a momentous
era for energy,” Yergin said. “On one hand you have this enormous challenge of
how to continue to meet global demand for energy that is projected to rise by
as much as 40 percent over the next few decades. On the other hand we continue
to witness amazing and transformative developments—from realizing entirely new
sources of oil and gas, to the rebirth of wind and solar power and the reemergence
of the electric car.
“What I set out to do
in The Quest is to show for the first
time how all these dynamic forces are coming together and playing out,” Yergin
added. “It is a fascinating story full of great personalities and one that will
have lasting impact on our daily lives.”
