Product Description

Product Description
The world you know is going to change dramatically and permanently. Anyone under fifty, with a normal life expectation, will live to see a world almost unrecognisable from the one they grew up in. Five billion people will die within a very short time. There will be no cars, no lorries, no buses, no aeroplanes and no supermarkets. The rich will travel by horse and cart. The middle classes will use bicycles. The poor will walk. The oil is running out and, as a result, our civilisation is reaching its end. You will never read a more important or more alarming book than this one. The disaster inexorably heading our way will make any natural disaster, any tsunami, seem inconsequential. Forget global warming. Forget terrorism. They are trivial problems. If you want to know the truth, and you think you can deal with it, sit down, turn to the first page and read this book now. It will change your life. Forever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read the Business pages of 'The Times' with this book beside you..., 2 Aug 2008
By Dr. Robert A. Josey "mystery lover" (Scottish Highlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This volume looks like one of those 'crank' type books. I picked it up in the local library and thought, "This is going to be a distillation of Kunstler's 'The Long Emergency'". Which in some ways it is - simplified, and from a European perspective.

But the cover/home-made publishing appearance hides the fact that this is a very thoughtful, sharp-edged, explicit and exceedingly powerful statement. It is hard not to see 'truth' here and Vernon Coleman is not some old hack - he makes many clear, perceptive points. (Perhaps repeats himself at times?)

The newspapers are now full of the beginnings of the very energy crises which Coleman so vividly describes. Scarily so. It's not some nightmare SF novel one can just wake up from. The scenarios are only just getting underway it seems.

I read the book in two sittings - wanting to know all the author could tell me. 'The Survival Guide' at the end is appealing - back to a 'Little House On The Prairie' type of life. Yeah, that wouldn't be so bad at all. And his chapter on future investments again makes sense when you read the Business pages of 'The Times'...(I never used to look at them but now they make more interesting reading because you can 'read between the lines'.)

The anti-American rhetoric perhaps just goes too far over into utter hatred though? The old defunct Soviet Union was not exactly a utopian society run by old hippies who wished the world love and kindness somehow...

So, apart from some of the politicising, the scientific facts speak pretty much for themselves. A book everybody should read? Yes. The claims the author makes for it are justified.
