"In this remarkable and engrossing work, leading historian Edward J. Renehan Jr. brings Commodore Vanderbilt to life - shedding new light on one of the architects of modern America. In the first major reexamination of Vanderbilt since 1942, Renehan masterfully utilizes major new sources, uncovering extraordinary details in his portrait of a life at once monumental and poignantly human." - James Strock, author. "Everybody knows the name Cornelius Vanderbilt, but few remember why he was such an industrial titan. Thankfully historian Edward J. Renehan Jr. brings him back to life in Commodore, a well-written and superbly researched biography. I now understand, for the first time really, how New York became the financial capital of the world." - Douglas Brinkley, author. "The First Modern Biography of an American Financial Giant. The tale of Cornelius Vanderbilt's life and the vast fortune he amassed is one of the cornerstones that defines the American Dream. Born on Staten Island in 1794, Vanderbilt made his initial fortune building ferry and cargo routes for sailing vessels, but he moved quickly into steamboats and railroads. With the New York Central, Vanderbilt established the nation's first major integrated rail system, linking New York with Boston, Montreal, Chicago, and St. Louis. At the same time, he played a key role in establishing New York as the financial center of the United States. When he died in 1877, he left a $105 million fortune that, in today's dollars, would dwarf even that of Bill Gates. Away from Wall Street, Vanderbilt was a hard-drinking egotist and whoremonger who berated and disinherited most of his many children and received an editorial rebuke from Mark Twain for his lack of public charity. His countless affairs included one with Tennessee Claflin - sister of the noted free-love advocate Victoria Woodhull. To placate Claflin, Vanderbilt set up both sisters in business as America's first female stockbrokers. He also financed their radical newspaper Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly (in which Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto made its first American appearance). Using previously unreleased archives, Commodore sheds startling new light on many aspects of Vanderbilt's business and private life including, most notably, the revelation that the mogul's later years were marred by advanced syphilis. This is the definitive biography of a man whose influence on American life and commerce towers over all who followed him." - from the inner front jacket flap.

A Thirst for Burning chronicles Australia's dramatic transformation from a continent entirely reliant on imported fuel to a major energy self-sufficient nation. Key Narrative: Arcs The Early Desperation: The book opens with Australia's early, often blind searches for oil, driven by the terrifying realization during World War II that a maritime blockade could completely freeze the nation's transport and economy. The Roma Miracles: It details the accidental 1900 gas discovery in Roma, Queensland, where drillers looking for water struck gas, leading to Australia's first (and short-lived) boom where the town was briefly lit by natural gas. The Rough Range Breakthrough: It captures the frenzy of December 1953, when WAPET (West Australian Petroleum) struck oil at Rough Range No. 1, causing national euphoria and an overnight stock market boom, even though the field ultimately proved non-commercial. The Bass Strait Jackpot: The climax of the narrative focuses on the 1960s offshore breakthroughs in Victoria's Gippsland Basin by Esso and BHP, which finally delivered the massive, commercial oil fields (like Kingfish and Halibut) that secured domestic fuel supplies. Strategic Themes Political Warfare: Wilkinson exposes the intense lobbying, tax disputes, and shifting government policies between state and federal leaders trying to control resource royalties. Geological Gambles: The text highlights the transition from unscientific "creekology" (guessing based on surface features) to modern seismic technology. The Wildcatters: It serves as a character study of the eccentric, stubborn pioneers who risked bankruptcy to drill the Australian outback and oceans.…
