    Renowned energy authority Daniel Yergin received the Pulitzer Prize in 1991 for The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power, a New York Times bestseller that illustrated how oil shapes geopolitics and the global economy. Of his following book, Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy, a reviewer for the Wall Street Journal said, “No one could ask for a better account of the world’s political and economic destiny since World War II.” Yergin is chairman of IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates, a leading research firm, and is CNBC’s Global Energy Expert. His latest book is the long-awaited successor to The Prize, a riveting inside story about the massive corporate mergers that transformed the oil market and the resurgence of interest in renewable energy, offering a unique perspective on the issue of climate change.
