Reviews

'Unconventional oil and gas production has challenged the ability of states and localities to balance environmental protection with economic development and energy security. Sarmistha R. Majumdar's engaging book examines in great detail many of the politics, issues, and tensions related to fracking in Texas, a critical energy-producing state. This book offers an in-depth look at the politics of oil and gas and offers important lessons as fracking continues to reshape America's energy portfolio.' - Jonathan M. Fisk, Assistant Professor, Auburn University 'Focusing on Texas, this book establishes Professor Majumdar as the expert on the political, technical and economic factors of fracking. For future students and scholars, this will become the benchmark.' - David Howard Davis, Professor University of Toledo and author of Energy Politics 4th ed
