The Social Impact of Oil (1982) examines how the town of Peterhead in the UK, hitherto a remote fishing port, was changed by North Sea oil. It looks at the wheeling and dealing that went on between property speculators, multinational companies, local government and municipal bodies, as well as discussing the clash of city money and small town as well as the practical problems of the labour market, housing and planning. It analyses the way the town changed, the advantages oil brought, often unintentionally, as well as the many challenges.

Old Fort Niagara guards the mouth of the Niagara River as it empties into Lake Ontario, and was built in 1725 to protect the trade route for France's North American empire. Besieged by British troops in July, 1759, after reinforcements were defeated, Captain Pierre Pouchot surrendered. A legend of the fort concerns the French military chest, in which Pouchot's officers buried their valuables, never to return. In 1789, a Loyalist Quaker, Jeremiah Moore (ancestor of the author) brought his family to British Niagara. He had a map to the treasure and the legend says the British commander let him dig. That's the legend. This is the story

But above all, he tells the nail-bitingly poignant human story of the families waiting ashore, of the desperate efforts of British, Norwegian and Russian rescuers, and of the Kursk sailors, trapped in the aft compartnemt, waiting for rescue, as a horrified world followed their battle to stay alive .
