OUT OF GAS: THE END OF THE AGE OF OIL (NORTON ) By David Goodstein **BRAND NEW**.

About this product

Product Information

Our rate of oil discovery has reached its peak and will never be exceeded; rather, it is certain to decline'erhaps rapidly'orever forward. Meanwhile, over the past century, we have developed lifestyles firmly rooted in the promise of an endless, cheap supply. In this book, David Goodstein, professor of physics at Caltech, explains the underlying scientific principles of the inevitable fossil fuel shortage we face. He outlines the drastic effects a fossil fuel shortage will bring down on us. And he shows that there is an important silver lining to the need to switch to other sources of energy, for when we have burned up all the available oil, the earth's climate will have moved toward a truly life-threatening state. With its easy-to-grasp explanations of the science behind every aspect of our most urgent environmental policy decisions, Out of Gas is a handbook for the future of civilization.

Reviews
Goodstein's predictions are based on a sophisticated understanding of physics and thermodynamics, and on a simple observation about natural resources. I hope Goodstein is wrong...if he's right, I'm sorry for my kids. And I'm especially sorry for theirs.

Excellent, Must read!!!
Great insight to the end of the age of oil. Bias towards Nuclear and doesn't offer any other alternatives, other than coal and natural gas as intermediaries. Still, great for anyone who is alive and plans on having children, or are young now. Read!!!!! only like six dollars, so it won't hurt your wallet.
