Join us as we celebrate the release of Gary May’s latest book – Crude Genius.
Crude Genius explores the making of international oil baron, William H. McGarvey. McGarvey was crowned the “Petroleum King of Austria,” dubbed “Europe’s Rockefeller," and advised the British government in the great debate over converting its naval fleet to oil fuel in preparation for World War I. His story is one that links Canada, the US, Austro-Hungary, Russia, and Romania.
Today, we are witnessing a global campaign to bring to an end King Oil’s 150-year reign by shrinking the world’s reliance on fossil fuels. Yet the story of the early years of how the petroleum world evolved remains wrapped in obscurity. Crude Genius fills in an important gap in that history.
Stop by the Oil Museum of Canada Sunday, August 28 from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. for a meet and greet with author Gary May. Be sure to take this opportunity to purchase your very own signed copy.
