"A sharp portrait of the US shale revolution." -- Financial Times Bestselling author Bethany McLean reveals the true story of fracking's impact -- on Wall Street, the economy and geopolitics. The technology of fracking in shale rock -- particularly in the Permian Basin in Texas -- has transformed America into the world's top producer of both oil and natural gas. The U.S. is expected to be "energy independent" and a "net exporter" in less than a decade, a move that will upend global politics, destabilize Saudi Arabia, crush Russia's chokehold over Europe, and finally bolster American power again. Or will it? Investigative journalist Bethany McLean digs deep into the cycles of boom and bust that have plagued the American oil industry for the past decade, from the financial wizardry and mysterious death of fracking pioneer Aubrey McClendon, to the investors who are questioning the very economics of shale itself. McLean finds that fracking is a business built on attracting ever-more gigantic amounts of capital investment, while promises of huge returns have yet to bear out. Saudi America tells a remarkable story that will persuade you to think about the power of oil in a new way.Binding Type: Paperback

Dogs love’em but too pricey
Flavor Name: Americana
Dogs really like them and I love the fresh ingredients but they are way too expensive for the amount of chips in the bag.

Impressive!
Pattern Name: Graceful（12 Sets）
These are very pretty looking off and on the face. The sticky backing can be tough to peel off without damaging things, my first attempt landed me with a destroyed sticker, be careful removing them from the film because i started with my finger and its very easy to accidentally rip the gems off the backing. I used a sewing pin to get under it and lift it up enough to grab it and it peels off easily after that, so definitelygive that a try so you dont learn the hard way like i did. Also it stayed on my face shockingly well for a good 10 hours. sweat made it a bit wiggly when it got really wet but even when it got soaked down I was able to just press or tap it back onto my face while drying my face with a fan and it sticks again 98% as well as a fresh one does once it's dryer, I was worried about sweating these off but I hardly had to check on or adjust them much once the sun set and things cooled off. The backing does a good job and you can't really see it behind the gems unless you're really tying to see it. I definitely don't regret buying these one bit and would recommend for others!
