The Party's Over
A colleague loaned me a copy of The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies some time ago, and I've been working through it on and off.
It's a good book, fairly well written, and mostly balanced though the author doesn't hide his bias, he presents both viewpoints, and arguments that don't support his beliefs or conclusions. It's well annotated (11 pages of end-notes and an 8 page bibliography), and even handed in it's presentation - more of a modern Cassandra than Chicken Little.
It's also horribly depressing, and more than a little terrifying.
Read it.
Think critically.
And most importantly, act accordingly.
