Description: Gabriola Island, British Columbia: New Society Publishers, 2005. Trade Paperback. ISBN: 0865715297. In Fine condition with very, very light scuffing to the covers. Tightly bound with a pristine, unmarked interior. "In The Party's Over, Richard Heinberg places this momentous transition in historical context, showing how industrialism arose from the harnessing of fossil fuels, how competition to control access to oil shaped the geopolitics of the 20th century, and how contention for dwindling energy resources in the 21st century will lead to resource wars in the Middle East, Central Asia, and South America. He describes the likely impacts of oil depletion, and all of the energy alternatives. Predicting chaos unless the U. S. -- the world's foremost oil consumer -- is willing to join with other countries to implement a global program of resource conservation and sharing, he also recommends a "managed collapse" that might make way for a slower-paced, low-energy, sustainable society in the future." ; Graphs; 0.6 x 8.8 x 6 Inches; 306 pages. Fine with no dust jacket .
