 Wow, what a ripoffApr 22, 2010
By David W. Coats
This is honestly a terrible book. My guess is that it was put together by an intern during a week or two. First it is very short, about 93 pages. Without counting figures there might be 50 pages of text. I finished it in a single night. At $60, that was the most expensive night of nothing in my life.
I would say that it is a very very quick introduction to the astounding fact that people find, purify, sell and use energy. Chapter 1 lays out these generalizations. Chapter 2 lists the different risks in energy markets (a valuable part of the book). Chapter 3 gives a bunch of disconnected statistics about world energy uses. Chapter 4 contains a bunch of random statistics laid out according to what type of energy those statistics apply to. Chapter 5 is what you probably bought the book for, but there is next to nothing there (yet this is the most valuable part of the book). A few bad examples, no math, and you come away knowing what you did beforehand. Chapter 6 is two pages.
I'm not sure if you can tell from my review, but I feel cheated. If this book was advertised as an $8 just-basics handbook then I would have been happy. But charging a textbook price for this? You should probably keep looking.

 very good introductionNov 29, 2008
By akinyc
This is a very good introduction to both energy and risk management. Highly recommended for someone just coming into the business or if someone needs a solid refresher. Recommend looking at GARP's other books in the series ([...]).
