The struggle for wealth and power that has surrounded oil for decades continues to shake the world economy, dictate the outcome of wars, and transform the destiny of men and nations.The Prize is as much a history of the twentieth century as of the oil industry itself. The canvas of this history is enormous — from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world wars to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm. The cast extends from wildcatters and rogues to oil tycoons, and from Winston Churchill and Ibn Saud to George Bush and Saddam Hussein.
The definitive work on the subject of oil and a major contribution to understanding our century,The Prize is a book of extraordinary breadth, riveting excitement — and great importance.

石油是经济发展的“血液”，是全世界各国发展强大的首要战略问题。尤其在全球经济一体化过程中，谁掌握了石油谁就主宰了世界,谁就能控制对手！对20世纪的人类来说，石油促使了资本主义与现代工业的真正发达；石油造成了世界强权与地缘政治的错综纠结：石油也把人类转化为碳氢化合物的组合。但不论我们要从发展的角度歌颂石油，还是从生态的立场痛恨石油，都必须先了解石油的故事。
本书是对石油历史的一个全景式的扫描——对财富与权力的争夺总是伴随在石油周围。这种争夺动摇了世界的经济、支配了战争的结果并且改变了人和国家的命运。《奖赏》既是20世纪一段波澜起伏的历史，也是一段石油发展史。这部历史的场景极其宏大——从宾夕法尼亚第一口油井的钻出，到两次大规模的世界大战，再到伊拉克对科威特的入侵和“沙漠风暴”行动。
本书的角色众多，从石油投机商、市井无赖到石油巨头，从温斯顿·丘吉尔、伊本·沙特到乔治·布什和萨达姆·侯赛因。作为一部关于石油的权威性作品和理解我们这个世纪的文献性作品，《奖赏》无疑是一部非常有深度、意义非凡的经典作品。
Now with a new epilogue that speaks directly to the current energy crisis,The Prize recounts the panoramic history of the world’s most important resource: oil. Daniel Yergin’s timeless book chronicles the struggle for wealth and power that has surrounded oil for decades and that continues to fuel global rivalries, shake the world economy, and transform the destiny of men and nations. This updated edition categorically proves the unwavering significance of oil throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first by tracing economic and political clashes over precious “black gold.”
With his far-reaching insight and in-depth research, Yergin is uniquely positioned to address the present battle over energy, which undoubtedly ranks as one of the most vital issues of our time. The canvas of his narrative history is enormous — from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world wars to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Operation Desert Storm, and now both the Iraq War and climate change. The definitive work on the subject of oil,The Prize is a book of extraordinary breadth, riveting excitement, and great value — crucial to our understanding of world politics and the economy today — and tomorrow.

CHAPTER 1
Oil on the Brain: The Beginning
There was the matter of the missing $526.08.
A professor’s salary in the 1850s was hardly generous, and in the quest for extra income, Benjamin Silliman, Jr., the son of a great American chemist and himself a distinguished professor of chemistry at Yale University, had taken on an outside research project for a fee totaling $526.08. He had been retained in 1854 by a group of promoters and businessmen, but, though he had completed the project, the promised fee was not forthcoming. Silliman, his ire rising, wanted to know where the money was. His anger was aimed at the leaders of the investor group, in particular, at George Bissell, a New York lawyer, and James Townsend, president of a bank in New Haven. Townsend, for his part, had sought to keep a low profile, as he feared it would look most inappropriate to his depositors if they learned he was involved in so speculative a venture.
For what Bissell, Townsend, and the other members of the group had in mind was nothing less than hubris, a grandiose vision for the future of a substance that was known as “rock oil” — so called to distinguish it from vegetable oils and animal fats. Rock oil, they knew, bubbled up in springs or seeped into salt wells in the area around Oil Creek, in the isolated wooded hills of northwestern Pennsylvania. There, in the back of beyond, a few barrels of this dark, smelly substance were gathered by primitive means — either by skimming it off the surface of springs and creeks or by wringing out rags or blankets that had been soaked in the oily waters. The bulk of this tiny supply was used to make medicine.
The group thought that the rock oil could be exploited in far larger quantities and processed into a fluid that could be burned as an illuminant in lamps. This new illuminant, they were sure, would be highly competitive with the “coal-oils” that were winning markets in the 1850S. In short, they believed that, if they could obtain it in sufficient quantities, they could bring to market the inexpensive, high-quality illuminant that mid-nineteenth-century man so desperately needed. They were convinced that they could light up the towns and farms of Noah America and Europe. Almost as important, they could use rock oil to lubricate the moving parts of the dawning mechanical age. And, like all entrepreneurs who became persuaded by their own dreams, they were further convinced that by doing all of this they would grow very rich indeed. Many scoffed at them. Yet, persevering, they would succeed in laying the basis for an entirely new era in the history of mankind — the age of oil.
