It resulted in major loss of life, massive environmental destruction and the evisceration of a small Quebec town. Blame landed squarely on the shoulders of three front-line employees of the Montreal, Maine, and Atlantic Railway Company. But a jury acquitted them. Who did cause this disaster? And how could it happen? In this book, Bruce Campbell uncovers the truth about Lac-Mégantic. He has interviewed many of the key players. He has researched the corporate executives and the companies involved. He delved into the complex world of transport regulation in Canada. And he attended the trials of the three accused. Lac-Mégantic is the story of a rail industry writing its own rules, a LorImEr booming US oil industry based on fracking fighting any obstacles to selling SoC040000 SoCIAL SCIENCE / their dangerous product, and a rogue US railway operator cutting corners DISASTErS & DISASTEr rELIEf to make his fortune. 6” x 9” At another level the story is about a federal government blinded by its 256 pages own free market ideology, fixated on making Canada an energy superpower, 16 colour images hardcover: 978-1-4594-1341-2, $27.95 and compliant bureaucrats failing to protect the public interest. epub: 978-1-4594-1342-9, $16.95 At the heart of this story is a small, tight-knit community torn apart and October 2018 publication struggling to recover. There is unimaginable loss, broken lives and families, and individual and collective trauma. But there is also healing, solidarity, commemoration, remembrance and the determination to rebuild and transcend. This is a story that had to be told, one which could be written only by a writer with the research and investigative skills and deep background understanding that Bruce Campbell brings to this book. Of related interest Bruce campBell is a former executive Director of the canadian centre for policy alternatives, canada’s leading independent think tank.

As the engine of modern economies and industries, governments everywhere want to assure steady supplies. Without it, their economies would grind to a standstill. Since petroleum is not evenly distributed around the world, powerful countries want to be sure they have access to supplies and markets, whatever the cost to the environment or to human life. Coveting the petroleum of another country is against the rules of international law — yet if accomplished surreptitiously, under the cover of some laudable action, it’s a LorImEr bonanza. This is the basis of “the petroleum game,” where countries jockey BUS070040 BUSINESS & for control of the world’s oil and natural gas. It’s an ongoing game of rivalry ECoNomICS / INDUSTrIES / among global and regional countries, each pursuing its own interests and ENErgY using whatever tools, allies and organizations offer possible advantage. 6” x 9” John Foster has spent his working life as an oil economist.

He explores military interventions (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria), October 2018 publication tensions around international waterways (Persian Gulf, South China Sea), and use of sanctions or political interference related to petroleum trade (Iran, Russia, Venezuela). He illuminates the petroleum-related reasons for government actions usually camouflaged and rarely discussed publicly by Western politicians or media. Petroleum geopolitics are complex. When clashes and conflicts occur, they are multi-dimensional. This book ferrets out pieces of the multi-faceted puzzle in the dark world of petroleum and fits them together. Of related interest JOHN FOSTer is an energy economist who has worked for 40 years in policy and economic issues relating to infrastructure and petroleum.

While this call to action has strongly influenced the interdisciplinary impulse of performance studies and prompted important cross- disciplinary investigations between performance genres such as theatre, dance, performance art, political performance, ritual, and play, sport has remained under- theorized in the field. In this project, I begin to fill this gap by approaching the practices, activities, and events of twenty-first century sport through the lens of performance studies.
