Robin Behl Bücher

Robin's earthy, from-the-road revelations are part memoir, part travelogue, part reflection on the social impact of extractive industries. Whether it's the gold for our coffers, the copper for our cell phones, the oil that powers our lives, or our quest for the Moon, we come together en-masse to dig for it, drill for it, and race for it. In each of those impacted communities, there are men and women in blue shirts and steel-toed boots, in white coats and stethoscopes, in guns and badges, who sacrifice their energy, their hairlines, and their sanity to care for their neighbors. Price Per Barrel takes a no-holds-barred look at what a population boom can do to a town and to the people who care about it most.
