    <title>Talk the Talk, but Wach the Walk?</title>
    <link>http://halifax.mediacoop.ca/story/talk-talk-wach-walk/9864</link>
    <description>&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-text field-field-subhead&quot;&gt;
    &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt;
                    Petroscience prof Dr. Grant Wach&amp;#039;s talk provides history of Maritimes oil and gas, but misses context        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-filefield field-field-image&quot;&gt;
    &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt;
                    &lt;img src=&quot;http://halifax.mediacoop.ca/sites/mediacoop.ca/files2/mc/imagecache/page450/img_3755.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;Abraham Gesner: Great-great Grandfather of Maritime Oil and Gas Exploration.

        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what it is about Dr. Grant Wach&amp;#39;s presentation, titled &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Burning Rocks: The History of the Petroleum Industry in Canada and the Maritimes&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;, that lingers awkwardly in the stuffy air of the basement auditorium of the Museum of Natural History in Halifax. It is clear, from the outset, that Wach knows his topic inside and out.&lt;/p&gt;
