They took risks and ventured into new fields. They turned ideas into reality. They changed the everyday lives of people around the world. Neither explorers nor adventurers, the enterprising people featured in this series sought success in the world of commerce. While building businesses, opening new markets, and often amassing personal fortunes, these individuals created jobs as well as new products and technology for others.

All Business Builders books:

“After an interesting introduction to the beginnings of the industry, Aaseng takes readers through a who’s who of its greatest pioneers. . . . Each biography gives excellent insights into the individual, the period, and the industry at that time. The portraits are easy to understand, well researched, authoritative, and fascinating to read. Black-and-white photographs of the men and oil sites enhance the well-written text. . . . Teachers will find enough information for lively discussions about the oil industry.”
