Book: Heart of the Monster

We don’t have to sit idly by while oil companies pillage the earth for cheap petroleum. With The Heart of the Monster: Why the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies Must Not Become an ExxonMobil Conduit to the Alberta Tar Sands (All Against the Haul publishing, $15), David James Duncan and longtime O/B contributor Rick Bass have created an eloquent, well-researched warning cry to the frightening voracity of corporate Big Oil. All proceeds from the book go towards All Against The Haul, a coalition across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana fighting to keep massive 650,000 pound coker drums from barreling down our country’s most beloved highways and draining Canada’s oil reserves at a tremendous environmental cost.
