Media Reviews
A valuable and easily accessible narrative of the sands' development . . . It deserves a place on the bookshelf of academics and the curious public interested in economic development, Canadian politics, and the petroleum industry. Erik Lizee, Historie social/Social History
Developing Alberta's Oil Sands is a well-researched, well-written, tightly argued book . . . As oil sands development intensifies, the story will continue. For now, though, this is the definitive study. Bonar A. Gow, The Canadian Historical Review
