Sobre este artículo
New York, NY Farrar, Straus & Giroux: Hill and Wang, 2005. Hardcover First Edition; First Printing indicated. First Edition; First Printing indicated. Very Near Fine in Fine DJ: The Book shows only a bit of crimping to the heel of the backstrip; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. The DJ is flawless; the price has not been clipped; mylar-protected. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 202pp. Hardback with DJ. In this follow up to his previous book on Hubbert's Peak/Peak Oil, Deffeyes gives us some engrossing info on such subjects as the Alberta tar sands, the Green River oil shale and nuclear power. Out of all the peak oil books I've read so far, this one is the only one that gives a very concise and knowledgable summary on these and other "alternatives" to cheap oil. Most other peak oil writers aren't old school geologists with hydrocarbon strings pumping in their veins instead of blood, so you don't get the feeling they really know what they are talking about. Several books I've read casually dismiss the Alberta tar sands and the Green River oil shale and shouldn't. Deffeyes doesn't. I'm actually a bit more hopeful and optimistic about the world's energy future after reading this book.
