Transitioning gracefully from the Age of Excess to the Era of Modesty

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.

Richard Heinberg , author of three of the most important books on Peak Oil, is an essayist of uncommon breadth. A recipient of the M. King Hubbert Award for Excellence in Energy Education, Heinberg lectures widely on oil depletion and its implications for agriculture, urban planning, and daily life.
