The Party’s Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies (Edition II)

The Party’s Over, and Kunstler’s The Long Emergency, are still my two favorite comprehensive introductions to the topic of Peak Oil. Of these two books, The Party’s Over is a bit more rigorous and scholarly in its orientation (more details, graphs and figures) whereas The Long Emergency is a bit more sharp and witty in its writing style. Both books are very readable, very educational, and make an excellent start point for learning about Peak Oil and its ramifications both for our immediate and our long-term future. Highly recommended!
