Offers a timely look into the oil industry, the rural areas that play host to it, and the many peoples whose lives are deeply affected by the boom-bust cycles of Canada's petrocultures. I suspect that Fault Lines will take its place alongside Jon Gordon's Unsustainable Oil, the edited volumes Petrocultures and After Oil, and Geo Takach's Tar Wars, among others, as key resources for thinking about, engaging with, and imagining beyond Canada's oil industry. --Matthew Zantingh The Goose This combination of Eaton's informative, objective text and Zink's haunting black-and-white photography--reminiscent of classic Depression-era portraits--strikingly documents a landscape whose transition from grain silos to oil pump-jacks has received scant attention; in studies of the Canadian oil economy, the prairie province of Saskatchewan has long been overshadowed by its petrochemical giant neighbor, Alberta. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) Zink's photos show with plain-spoken poignancy the stark quality of the land, the oil machinery, the workers, and the farmers who have watched oil booms come and go. --Bill Robertson Saskatoon StarPhoenix
