Oil could turn a man overnight into a millionaire--and did, for some. But these myths have obscured what life was really like in the oil patch, a place that was neither the El Dorado of legend nor quite the unredeemed den of sin and iniquity that some feared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eRoughnecks, Drillers, and Tool Pushers\u003c\/i\u003e, Gerald Lynch provides a much-needed insider's view of the oil industry, describing life in various oil fields in and around Texas. He also chronicles changes in drilling methods and oil-field technology and how these changes affected him and his fellow oil-field workers. No one else has written a working-class history of the oil fields as colorful and articulate as this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Lynch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.05w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292770522","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40322469429363,"sku":"9.78029E+12","price":30.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_66cb34e0-1b8e-44f3-88ea-0992b0e9d7ef.jpg?v=1659446285","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/roughnecks-drillers-and-tool-pushers-thirty-three-years-in-the-oil-fields-9780292770522","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
