Available online from http://parklandinstitute.ca/people/profile/das_satya/. Accessed on 20.11.2011.〕 Das is the author of three books, on oil, and immigration in Canada (Dispatches from a Borderless World(1999) ), (The Best Country (2002) ) and (Green Oil )(2009). Dispatches, based on testimonies and personal experience growing up in a borderless world, portrays societies and culture in transition. The writer imagines how border-less societies try to find identity in a new world through their stories. The Best Country is set in Canada, where " capital and skilled people are mobile, and political borders are no longer clear-cut markers of identity and sovereignty.”.〔The Edmonton Journal review, 15 September 2002〕 Here, Das views Canadian global leadership from a human -- as opposed to a military or political -- perspective. In Greenoil he contends that Alberta's oil sands can be profitable and responsibly developed. His take on this estimated $15-trillion oil sands resource is the paradox of green oil, paving a clean energy]] future for his adopted western Canadian province, in the 21st Century.
