{"product_id":"the-bakken-goes-boom-kyle-conway-9780692643686","title":"The Bakken Goes Boom: Oil and the Changing Geographies of Western North Dakota","description":"In 2008, the Bakken went boom. Thanks to advances in hydraulic fracturing, oil production in western North Dakota exploded. As the price of oil went up, so did the oil rigs. People came from all over the country (and the world) in search of work, and cities and towns struggled to keep up. This book is about the challenges they faced. It is about the human dimensions of the boom, as told by artists, poets, journalists, and scholars. It captures the boom at its peak, before the price of oil fell and the boom went bust. This is the only book on the Bakken to bring together such a wide range of voices. It captures a fascinating moment in the history not only of North Dakota, but of global oil production. It sheds light on the impact of oil on local communities that, until now, had not attracted much interest from the outside world. And it shows how North Dakotans, both old and new, have found ways to address the challenges they face in a turbulent, changing environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyle Conway, William Caraher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692643680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692643686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Digital Press at the University of North Dako\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.81d","brand":"Kyle Conway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981119226111,"sku":"9780692643686","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ca7bfe0-b1fd-4567-8f60-34a942a1697d.jpg?v=1683253761","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bakken-goes-boom-kyle-conway-9780692643686","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
