Book: The Long Emergency

Sunday, March 15, 2009

Whilst not the cheeriest of tomes The Long Emergency is a well written and provides a detailed grounding to the basics of peak oil. Kuntsford is US based so the scenarios are US focused but that doesn’t detract from the quality and depth of the content.

My only criticism is that it could offer more in the way of solutions to negate some of the impact of the doom laden content. Therefore if you are reading this you probably want to have something positive lined up for straight after. The Transition Handbook or The Post Petroleum Cookbook would be good choices.

I’ve kept this short as there are already many excellent reviews of this book out there, for example this one. So I’ll just end by saying that we’ve both read this book cover to cover and it comes highly recommended.
