 I was disappointed in this book.  Although the author certainly knows his
> subject, Lester Brown does a better job with the "Big Picture", and other
> authors cover the details of various activities better.  Since I've read
> over 70 books on the general subject matter in the last year+, I'd be
> happy to give recommendations to anyone interested.

>   Over the coming years we will need to move from a global culture
> addicted
>   to cheap, abundant petroleum to a culture of compelled conservation,
>   whether through government directive or market forces. The
> Post-Petroleum
>   Survival Guide and Cookbook provides useful practical advice for
> preparing
>   your family and community to make the transition.
>
>   This book takes a positive, upbeat, and optimistic view of "the Great
>   Change," promoting the idea that it can be an opportunity to redeem our
>   essential interconnectedness with nature and with each other. The many
>   rifts that have grown up since oil became the world's prime commodity
> can
>   be mended: between cities and their food sources; the design of the
>   suburban built environment and its car-oriented sprawl; runaway
> greenhouse
>   warming, clearing of forests and toxification of rivers, oceans, and
> land.
>   Topics covered include:
>
>       * Rebuilding civilization
>       * Changing your needs
>       * Water and waste disposal
>       * Energy and transportation
>       * Equipment and Tools
>       * Food storage and First Aid
>
>   Also including light-hearted, playful recipes -- some using basic,
>   wholesome foods, some illustrating food growing or preservation, and all
>   emphasizing organic, flavorful and locally grown produce that readily
>   substitute one for another -- this book is about having your catastrophe
>   and eating it too.
