However, the mainstream lacks a theory to explain this apparently sudden challenge to optimistic expectations of long-term economic growth and an end to world poverty. \u003ci\u003eThe Final Energy Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e provides political explanations to fill that gap. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors engage with depletion trends in oil, gas, coal, uranium, soil and biodiversity. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, they study energy trends, prospects, assets and liabilities in different political systems and regions, including the US, Venezuela, China, Africa, the ex-Soviet Union, North Korea, Japan, France and Australia. Far from being a doom-laden work on peak oil, this book offers practical suggestions for readers keen to be part of the solution to resource depletion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis comprehensively updated edition includes 13 new chapters and thorough revisions of existing material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheila Newman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745327184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745327181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Sheila Newman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065083146495,"sku":"9780745327181","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6da67d61-5f37-4d92-8cb4-883665b6aabb.jpg?v=1768672872","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-final-energy-crisis-sheila-newman-9780745327181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
