Product Description

Review

Shaun Chamberlin is one of those rare people who combines a deep and
detailed knowledge of his subject, a strong passion for it and the
ability to write about it in a readable and accessible style... This is
the state of the art report on the two big challenges facing us, with
their awesome complexity cut down to crystal clarity. I would urge
everyone who cares about the future of the planet to read it.

- Patrick Whitefield, Permaculture Magazine, Summer 2009



While definitely focused on empowering the community rather than the
policy makers, this book is much more than a folksy agenda for comfort
in the crisis. It is a serious plan to reconstruct society in the light
of ecological and energetic realities, informed by the best evidence
about the vortex of forces influencing the global crisis.

- David Holmgren, co-originator of the Permaculture concept



There is obviously no single, magic bullet solution to climate change.
But if I was forced to choose one - our best hope of averting the
crisis - it would definitely be Transition Towns.

- Franny Armstrong, director of the film The Age of Stupid

Review

So here it is: the map and timeline of how to save our world and
ourselves. Whether we WILL take up these suggestions as scheduled is a
question for the cynics and dreamers to debate. For us realists, the
only relevant questions are: Where do we start?, and, Will you join us?

- Richard Heinberg, Senior Fellow of the Post Carbon Institute, and
author of eight books, including The Party’s Over and Peak Everything

This book walks you systematically through a range of future scenarios and helps you to think about the kind of future that you want to be part of. Essential reading for anyone in Transition Towns - but also for anone who's interested in the kind of future their children are going to grow up in...excellent balance of details and big picture stuff

Brilliant and vital 19 Nov 2009
By Maria
Format:Paperback
The Transition Timeline is one I thoroughly recommend as it really is a beautifully written book and has something for everyone, combining a philosophical perspective with a realistic look at a frightening predicament. It has harmony in its structure as it flows from one topic to another. As an artist, it left me feeling enthused, inspired and energised about the sort of things we can do in facing future dilemmas, and towards creating my own work.

Format:Paperback
I had read Rob Hopkins' Transition Handbook, and I asked myself whether I really needed another identical looking book with a similar title. Well the answer is yes. It complements Hopkins' book, moving into new areas. It looks at four visions of the future: from head in the sand/business as usual, to techno-fix, to bleak end of world stuff, and finally to the Transiton vision. It explores how Transition would inform our thinking about energy,food,transport etc. I found the long section on climate change and peak oil, and their interdependence, invaluable;detailed and well referenced.The notes at the end were also very helpful. A very stimulating book .
