In our seventh episode of the Climate Book Reviews Podcast, Roger and Ed talk with Don Gillmor about his compelling volume On Oil, which blends memoir, policy, history, and reflections on climate change in a brief and brisk read. Don’s personal history in the Oil Sands of northern Alberta makes for swift reading, even as his succinct yet ranging history of the same area stands as a useful primer for anyone unfamiliar with the region and its centrality in discussions around climate, carbon, and the future of fossil fuels.
This sounds fascinating! I love how the podcast blends personal stories with policy and history – makes complex topics much more engaging. Excited to dive into Don Gillmors book on oil via this review!
