“What I set out to do with ‘The Quest’ was to bring the global story together in one panorama in a way that has not been done before. It also offers “context and insight into what it takes to fuel life in the 21st century, the struggles among nations, the energies on which our society has been built and the new resources that are competing to replace them.” “The Quest” draws on five years of research to provide the most comprehensive analysis of the modern energy world and the dynamics shaping its future, states the press release distributed by the IHS Markit, where Yergin serves as vice chairman. He wrote the preface for Yergin’s book, which has been especially revised for the Kazakh edition. “For our readers the book, of course, is priceless, as Kazakhstan has more than a 100-year history as one of the oil-producing countries and it is important to understand the principles of efficient use of resources,” said Astana International Financial Centre head Kairat Kelimbetov at the event. Translated into Kazakh as “Energiya,” “The Quest” follows the story of Yergin’s first book “The Prize,” which received the Pulitzer Prize and was translated into Kazakh in 2014. “As I thought about that whole century in terms of the development of energy – where we are, where we are going to, where we are in the future, – it continues to be a great revolution, one driven by the technology and we really need to meet… Kazakhstan is the country very much caught up in that revolution of energy and that’s really why I am so pleased to have an opportunity to contribute this book to your thinking and indeed to your future,” he said. I hope that ‘The Quest’ will provide a vital context and understanding for global forces that are so important to Kazakhstan’s future,” he said.Īs the theme of the upcoming EXPO 2017 is the future of energy, Yergin added he hopes “The Quest” can contribute to the thinking and understanding of the topic. “I am especially pleased to bring this important story to Kazakh readers because of energy’s central role in helping to build Kazakhstan’s 21st-century economy.
