"A summary of the many ideas floating around, with the theme of individuals preparing themselves for peak oil and similar events. Author Mick Winter takes a reasonable, moderate tone in presenting the information and references. The book would be most useful for newcomers to the field and might make a good textbook for a short course."

Prepare now for Peak Oil.
It's up to you.

Our modern global society is heading full speed into the worst crisis in its history. We're rushing faster and faster toward accelerating energy depletion (that means higher gas prices—if gas is even available); likely catastrophic climate change, including rising temperatures and sea levels; and a cyclically certain economic crash. And there are no adults in charge.

Think the government will come to your rescue? Ask the people in New Orleans. You're on your own. And it's time you start getting ready.

Even if you don't accept the likelihood of this challenging future, you can—and should—still take action simply to improve your life. You can save money, bring your family closer together, enjoy a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle, and improve the security and well-being of your community.

The suggestions in this book will help you save money and fight global warming by using less energy in your everyday living. You'll discover tips on low-cost heating, cooling, and lighting in your home. You'll get ideas on how to survive with little or no use of a car, how to improve your health, eat better and still save on food bills, and supplement or replace your current income. And you'll learn ways to help, and benefit from, your neighbors and your community.

There are no magic secrets. But there are lots and lots of good ideas that are either free or low-cost to help you spend less, save more, and prepare for an uncertain future.

Why wait? The sooner you start, the better.
