Very Scarce, Only Three Institutional Holdings Of This 1908 Second Edition Are Shown In Worldcat. For An Excellent Summary Of Beeby-Thompson's Unparalleled Association With Baku See"Arthur Beeby-Thompson: Oil Pioneer" On The Internet. Of Little Interest Today, The Oil Fields Of Baku Were Hitler's Major Interest In His Attempted Subjugation Of Russia In World War Ii, A Fact Well Known To Many Russians But Known By Few Living Westerners. There Is A Plausible Argument That The National Economics, Politics, And Militarization Of Oil And Gas Is So Important That Twentieth Century And Twenty-First Century National Economics, Politics And Militarization May To A Considerable Degree Be Considered As Just Aspects Of The Oil And Gas Business; Petroleum And Gas Derivatives Provide Not Just Energy But The Chemicals Used In All Industry Including The Lubrication Of Essential Machines. This Business Is, Below The Radar Of The Media, Indispensably Dependent Upon The Oil Equipment Supply Business, An Oligopoly Where Equipment Is Never Sold, Only Leased, Making The Users Dependent Upon Such Firms "Forever" And Giving Them Incomparable Political Leverage. Per The Huntington Library, Ralph Arnold, A Leading Consulting Geologist And Petroleum Engineer In The United States, Came To Pasadena, California, From Iowa With His Family In 1880, And Was Educated At Stanford University. Arnold Became A Member Of The U.S. Geological Survey, Wrote And Lectured Extensively On Geological Subjects, Engaged In Numerous Mining And Petroleum Ventures, And Was Active In Republican Politics, Especially In The Presidential Campaign Of Herbert Hoover (One Of Hoover's Sons Was A Worldwide Petroleum Drilling Business Operator.) Excellent Background For Motivations For Sacrifice Of Ukraine For American Access To Fees And Profits For Drilling, Storing, Transporting, Marketing, And De-Regulating Russian Oil And Gas.

Beeby Thompson (1873-1968) best known for his work on the Oil FIelds of Russia, played a pivotal role in the early development of the global oil industry. He visited Antigua during Dec 1920 - Jan 1921. His report covers topography, stratigraphy, petrology, water availability and quality, and concludes that with erratic rainfall, the only way to avoid water famine would be to impound large reserves, and construct wells. The map, "Leeward Islands Sketch Map of Antigua", presents geological zones, and the position of police stations, reefs, areas above water, and wells. The sections include Bendals and Blubber Valley. The loose sheet describes how Antigua experienced no problems until a severe drought in 1924, when (following Beeby Thompson's advice) a well was dug at Bendals, and another drought in July 1954 with 2 more wells dug.
