Description

Energy is an issue of vital importance for the future of humanity and its shaping role in international politics and commerce cannot be overstated. Professor R. Odell has spent decades researching, analysing and advising the energy industry. In "An Energetic Life", he shares the insight and experience gained in an extraordinary career which crossed continents and saw him play key roles both in and out of academia. Over a period of more than 40 years, he presented papers and lectured on energy topics at over 100 universities and scientific organisations and advised countless industrial, commercial and political groups and institutions throughout Europe, the United States, Canada, India, China, Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean and Latin America. An Energetic Life is a fascinating account of this career. The professional is mixed with the personal as Professor Odell describes his family history, his childhood in wartime Britain and the joys and challenges of his own family life. Professor Odell is the author of numerous books and papers, which primarily concentrate on the economic and political aspects of international and European energy questions. Many of his work became standard-bearing texts for a generation of industry analysts. Among his many accomplishments and accolades, he is a Fellow of the Energy Institute, Royal Society of Arts and the Royal Geographical Society, and in 2006, he received the Biennial OPEC Award for his outstanding lifetime contribution to the petroleum industry. "An Energetic Life" is the definitive account of the life, times and work of a man whose contribution to an area of crucial scientific, commercial and political interest is virtually unrivalled
