The Quest

Daniel Yergin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of *The Prize*, presents *The Quest*, an essential, overarching narrative of global energy and its role as the principal engine of geopolitical and economic change. Yergin delves into humanity's continuous quest for energy, power, and riches. He explores the enduring drama of oil—from its supply and control to its economic and geopolitical impact—and uncovers the turbulent histories of nuclear, coal, natural gas, and electricity. *The Quest* also investigates the rise of renewables like solar, wind, and biofuels, and offers a unique historical perspective on how climate change became one of our most urgent global issues. Taking readers from the battlefields of the Middle East to the innovations of Silicon Valley, Yergin provides a comprehensive understanding of the decisions shaping our future energy security.
