This report contains a title page, tribute page to Mark Lombardi, preface, table of contents, executive summary, 15 chapters, a conclusion and appendixes. Due to its sheer length and size (in megabytes), and hundreds of images, maps and illustrations, it is divided into pdf downloadable separate section and chapter files (see below). Each divisional chapter / section is prefaced by the report's information title and the contents of that chapter / section.
One of the benefits and flexibilities of dividing the report in this manner is that, while the mix of all the chapters is intended to provide a cohesion of complex ideas and events concerning the fracking agenda in Poland (as part of the evolving and inter-connected fracking agenda for the world in general, through its controversial genesis in North America), a number of the chapters have stand-alone themes and features, whereby they can almost be treated as separate reports or essays. This is particularly true for chapters 5, 12 and 14.
The Chapters that deal directly with Poland are the following:
Chapters 1, 7, 11, 13, and 15. The Chapters that deal less directly with Poland, but have details on Poland, are Chapters 4, 10 and 12.
This report was researched and composed over a four month period, and was entirely financed by the author.
