Author: Greer, John Michael

Greer - Archdruid, organic gardener and scholar of ecological history - examines the current energy crisis through three core themes. First, industrial society is following the same well-worn path that has led other civilizations into decline. Second, the crisis is rooted in the cultural stories that shape the way we understand the world. Third, it's too late for massive top-down solutions; the solutions must come from individuals. Focusing eloquently on constructive adaptation to massive change, this book offers hope through a range of possible responses. 288 pp.
