Here's what others are saying about Albert's book:

This book is like a Swiss army knife. Sharp. Simple. Very practical.
Extremely useful. Full of survival tools, which you may need in the next
five minutes or five years from now. -- Dr. Valentin Yemelin, climate
scientist at the United Nations Environment Programme/GRID-Arendal, Norway.

In the Post Petroleum Survival Guide and Cookbook, Albert Bates
demonstrates with great clarity and panache that if you love this
planet, you must change your life. -- Dr. Helen Caldicott, pediatrician
and author of If You Love This Planet: A Plan to Heal the Earth

This really is the book we've been waiting for -- a practical,
optimistic guide to life beyond the peak -- to its ingenious,
resourceful and common-sense possibilities as well as to its inevitable
challenges.- Rob Hopkins, TransitionCulture.org

With luck, we will never need to know how to throw together an expedient
fallout shelter, but this book tells us how, and what to stock it with.
These are indeed Recipes for Changing Times -- very tasty food for
thought! - John Pike, Director of GlobalSecurity.org, member of the US
Council on Foreign Relations.

The Post Petroleum Survival Guide is exactly what we've needed - a
cheery, funny, and supremely useful book about the end of civilization -
that actually tells us what we can do about it and how to prepare.
Packed full of great resources and references, this is the guidebook I'd
want to have at my side.  - Starhawk, author of the Spiral Dance, The
Fifth Sacred Thing and The Earth Path

Albert Bates is a permaculture and appropriate technology instructor at 
the Eco village Training Center at The Farm community in Summertown, 
Tennessee, inventor of solar cars, pedal flour sifters and cylindrical 
tofu presses, and author of eleven books, including Shutdown: Nuclear 
Power on Trial (1979) and Climate in Crisis: The Greenhouse Effect and 
What We Can Do (1990). His Post-Petroleum Survival Guide and Cookbook: 
Recipes for Changing Times (New Society 2006) envisions the world as it 
will be transformed by peak oil and climate change, and offers a 
prescription for re-inhabitation. As one of the founders of the Eco 
village Network of the Americas (1994) and the Global Eco village 
Network (1995), Albert used his lifetime of eco-community living skills 
to create an incendiary meme, sparked by dedicated individuals and 
fueled by the pressing necessity of changing the way in which human 
communities relate to nature.

*
Permaculture:
We are living on a planet in crisis; often individuals feel powerless to
effect change but Permaculture offers positive solutions to the problems
facing the world; using ecology as the basis for designing integrated
systems of food production, housing, technology and community 
development, you can learn to create a self-sustaining environment, on a 
farm or in your urban backyard or apartment.
