Oil rippled through the Texas prairie like black gold, spewing forth from Spindletop in 1901 to kickstart the American petroleum era. Overnight, Beaumont transformed from sleepy backwater to frenzied boomtown, attracting daring wildcatters and prospectors intoxicated by dreams of untold riches bubbling underground. Foremost among them was Joseph S. Cullinan - the ambitious son of Pennsylvania oilmen who risked everything building wells in this unforgiving land where hubris met opportunity. Sensing boundless potential as gas lamps gave way to the sputtering horseless carriage, Cullinan swiftly incorporated The Texas Company in 1902 and drove operations further than any independent driller of the era, spanning drilling and refining to retail distribution. By controlling industry verticals before Rockefeller's monopolists consolidated power, The Texas Company took flight on wings of gas station expansion and patented petrochemicals, making the star T logo a roadside fixture welcoming motorists chasing newfound mobility. As fortunes bloomed tapping prolific Gulf Coast fields, visionary Cullinan set sights on global exports well before the majors. The company's daring engineers and geologists ventured to Mexico, Venezuela and the Middle East, unleashing torrents of crude that fueled global dreams of economic boomtimes ahead. Even Old World dynasties like the Rothschilds invested in this maverick juggernaut built by American grit which powered the Allies in two World Wars even rivaling mighty Standard Oil itself. By mid-century with pumps spread nationwide, the company outgrew regional roots and became simply Texaco - an ubiquitous household name fueling suburban expansion through TV sponsorships broadcasting major sporting events coast-to-coast while the sparkling red star logo adorned ballparks from Houston to Hoboken displaying national pride stretching towards space age horizons. But as postwar optimism soured through the volatile 1970s, seeded OPEC turmoil and deregulations eroded profits. Attempts expanding into risky Alaskan fields and North Sea gambles strained already inflated balance sheets. By the merciless 1980s oil bust, Texaco haemorrhaged jobs and asset values disastrously before unstable 1990s consolidation deals stopped terminal bleeding - yet tragedy continued haunting operations now drifting rudderless bereft of identity. Ultimately swallowed in 2001 by West Coast predator Chevron, Texaco's magnificent legacy disappeared behind the scenes, its famous logo retired overnight. And so Spindletop's first fiery fist heralding American oil independence ironically gave birth to a boundary-smashing global giant years later only undone itself by that very same black gold...

A Book of the Year in Rolling Stone, Uncut, Mojo, The Telegraph and the Glasgow Herald This troubadour life is only for the fiercest hearts, only for those vessels that can be broken to smithereens and still keep beating out the rhythm for a new song. Last Chance Texaco is the first-ever no-holds-barred account of the life of two-time Grammy Award-winner Rickie Lee Jones, in her own words. It is a tale of desperate chances and impossible triumphs, an adventure story of a girl who beat the odds and grew up to become one of the most legendary artists of her time, turning adversity and hopelessness into timeless music. With candour and lyricism, the 'Duchess of Coolsville' (Time) takes us on a singular journey through her nomadic childhood, to her years as a teenage runaway, through her legendary love affair with Tom Waits, and ultimately her longevity as the hardest working woman in rock and roll. Rickie Lee's stories are rich with the infamous characters of her early songs - 'Chuck E's in Love,' 'Weasel and the White Boys Cool,' 'Danny's All-Star Joint' and 'Easy Money' - but long before her notoriety in show business, there was a vaudevillian cast of hitchhikers, bank robbers, jail breaks, drug mules, a pimp with a heart of gold, and tales of her fabled ancestors. In this electrifying and intimate memoir by one of the most remarkable, trailblazing and tenacious women in music are never-before-told stories of the girl in the raspberry beret, a singer-songwriter whose music defied categorization and inspired pop culture for decades.

Texaco recruited banking executive Bari-Ellen Roberts with promises of a professional challenge and advancement. But she and 1400 other African Americans faced a persistant pattern of racial discrimination so onerous that it wound up in a lawsuit-and ultimately in the largest discrimination settlement in U.S. History. This is the true story of how a giant corporation was challenged against all odds by one brave woman who was determined to stand her ground. Here, in Bari-Ellen Roberts' own words, is the fascinating, infuriating, and ultimately triumphant account of how she acheived an electrifying result that could change the face of corporate America, including the inside story of the notorious "Texaco Tapes," which recorded senior executives making racially-charged comments while they allegedly plotted the destruction of evidence. Here is a fresh and inspiring vantage point on what is unquestionably the major civil rights battleground of the twenty-first century: the workplace. Spellbinding and eloquent, intensely personal and dramatically riveting, this is the most persuasive yet damning account of corporate racial discrimination ever written.

The guy looked at me with a stare that would have frozen antifreeze. "You the new groupie, huh?" "Yeah," I said. "So?" "So no one wants you here. Why don't you go back where you came from?" I can't go back, I wanted to say. That was the thing about living in a group home. There was nowhere for me to go but forward. Brent Hartinger's second novel, a portrait of a subculture of teenagers that many people would like to forget, is as powerful and provocative as his first book, Geography Club.

"Chamoiseau is a writer who has the sophistication of the modern novelist, and it is from that position (as an heir of Joyce and Kafka) that he holds out his hand to the oral prehistory of literature." --Milan Kundera Of black Martinican provenance, Patrick Chamoiseau gives us "Texaco (winner of the Prix Goncourt, France's most prestigious literary prize), an international literary achievement, tracing one hundred and fifty years of post-slavery Caribbean history: a novel that is as much about self-affirmation engendered by memory as it is about a quest for the adequacy of its own form. In a narrative composed of short sequences, each recounting episodes or developments of moment, and interspersed with extracts from fictive notebooks and from statements by an urban planner, Marie-Sophie Laborieux, the saucy, aging daughter of a slave affranchised by his master, tells the story of the tormented foundation of her people's identity. The shantytown established by Marie-Sophie is menaced from without by hostile landowners and from within by the volatility of its own provisional state. Hers is a brilliant polyphonic rendering of individual stories informed by rhythmic orality and subversive humor that shape a collective experience. A joyous affirmation of literature that brings to mind Boccaccio, La Fontaine, Lewis Carroll, Montaigne, Rabelais, and Joyce, "Texaco is a work of rare power and ambition, a masterpiece.
