Publisher Description

Peak Everything addresses many of the cultural, psychological and practical changes we will have to make as nature rapidly dictates our new limits. This latest book from Richard Heinberg, author of three of the most important books on Peak Oil, touches on the most important aspects of the human condition at this unique moment in time.

A combination of wry commentary and sober forecasting on subjects as diverse as farming and industrial design, this book tells how we might make the transition from The Age of Excess to the Era of Modesty with grace and satisfaction, while preserving the best of our collective achievements. A must-read for individuals, business leaders and policy makers who are serious about effecting real change.

Richard Heinberg is the author of nine books and is widely regarded as one of the world's most effective communicators of the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels. With a wry, unflinching approach based on facts and realism, he exposes the tenuousness of our current way of life and offers a vision for a truly sustainable future.

    " Bit of a disappointment. Less of a discussion of the Peak Oil theory (which is what I was looking for) than a series of broadly written essays on sustainability. "

  • Overall Performance: 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

    " This book is amazingly terrible. Aside from the subject matter, which is highly questionable, the writing is in serious need of a good editor. I felt like I was reading a middle school essay. E.g. "My thesis is...", "This chapter is about..." Really terrible stuff. "
