Book: The Transition Handbook
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
The book initially provides a brief and accessible introduction to the dual concepts of peak-oil (or energy decent if you prefer the euphemism) and man made climate change. The rest of the book is then spent describing Rob Hoskin’s solution to the problem that I can summarise in a two words: local resilience.
It goes into some depth about how Totnes in Devon, the first transition town, is doing and apart from making you want to move to Totnes it does also give you plenty of material that you can use to emulate that in your home town.
If you buy and read this book it will almost certainly change your life, for good.
A detailed review of the book by Patrick Whitefield can be found over on the transition culture blog.
