Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "Life Without Oil: Why We Must Shift To A
New Energy Future" by John Wright and Steve Hallett.
It's been read and spell-checked. Headers stripped, page numbers/section
titles present, text/headings/footnotes formatted.
435 pages.
Description:
Hallett (botany and plant pathology, Purdue U. ), who is joined by John
Wright, an energy and environmental journalist, contends that oil and
natural gas supplies will wane by the end of the century and that society
has failed to see this problem and act on it. He describes the history of
the world in terms of energy use, how the petroleum interval of the last
century fits into larger civilization, and how the rise of civilizations has
been a story of human access to increasingly powerful sources of energy and
that problems with access to energy have led to societal collapse. He
examines problems that are likely to occur in different countries over the
next half century, effects on the global economy, and what can be done about
them it by considering nuclear power, reconnecting communities, focusing on
sustainable agriculture, and recognizing that the laws of ecology override
the economy.
