The story of oil for elementary school kids.

What is oil? Where did it come from? How did we find out about it? What can we do when the oil wells run dry? In his usual clear style, science fiction great Isaac Asimov answers these and other questions for young people who have an interest in America's energy future. Now 27 years after its first publication, this book is more relevant that ever! Beautifully illustrated by David Wool.
