Robin's earthy, from-the-road revelations are part memoir, part travelogue, part reflection on the social impact of extractive industries. Whether it's the gold for our coffers, the copper for our cell phones, the oil that powers our lives, or our quest for the Moon, we come together en-masse to dig for it, drill for it, and race for it. In each of those impacted communities, there are men and women in blue shirts and steel-toed boots, in white coats and stethoscopes, in guns and badges, who sacrifice their energy, their hairlines, and their sanity to care for their neighbors. Price Per Barrel takes a no-holds-barred look at what a population boom can do to a town and to the people who care about it most.

Robin Lynn Behl is from southeastern New Mexico, where she served as a firefighter and EMT with the Mesilla Fire Department while attending New Mexico State University. After thirteen years of service as an emergency responder, she earned a master's degree in medicine at the University of New England and worked as a physician assistant for seven years. In that time, she had the opportunity to train and work in the Arctic, both in Alaska and in Greenland. Her love for remote northern climates and her insatiable wanderlust inspired Price Per Barrel, her first nonfiction book. She has left the practice of medicine and now works in documentary filmmaking, which allows her to tell stories in a whole new way. She is a musician, a dancer, and a choreographer who feels most at home when she's on a stage.
