Book ID/图书代码： 00110915B77185

English Summary/英文概要： Rick Ranson has collected stories from all over North America, from the DEW Line and the drill ships of Working North to the raging waters of the Mississippi in Paddling South. Now, join this engaging raconteur as he ventures to one of Canada’s most talked-about locations: Fort McMurray, home of the oilsands.

In Bittersweet Sands, Rick Ranson recounts a twenty-four day shift at an oilsands operation undergoing a shutdown, giving us a glimpse at a world most of us only know from the evening news. Along the way, he encounters a group of engaging roughnecks, including a husband and wife welding crew, a petty fascist safety inspector, and the tough-as-nails secretary that keeps them all in line.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 瑞克•兰森一直以来都在搜集南美的各种有趣故事，从远程预警线和到北部钻探船，再到南部密西西比河上的汹涌水流。就让我们于此刻加入这名沉醉其间的讲述者，随着他的冒险，前往加拿大最广为人们所传诵的地方：麦克默里堡-----油砂故乡。

在《甜涩油砂》一书中，瑞克•兰森娓娓道来了一场24天的蜕变，有关于一个油砂公司是如何经历了倒闭，并让我们得以一窥一个我们以往只能从晚间新闻里听说的世界。在此过程中，他还偶遇了一群钻油工人，其中包括一对夫妻档焊工、一名略带有法西斯狂热主义倾向的安检员以及强势且坚持的秘书，以确保所有人各司其职。（DC）
