We live in an oil-addicted world, and our economies and way of life have grown used to this ever more expensive dependency in a very short space of time. But little planning has been done for a time when oil is not so plentiful. This is a hugely important book, showing how we can move from feeling anxiety and fear in the face of the challenges ahead, to developing a positive vision and taking practical action to create a more sustainable, self-reliant existence. These changes - now begun in over 30 Transition Towns across the UK - can lead to the rebirth of local communities, which will grow more of their own food, generate their own power, and build their own houses using local materials. 240pp, 233mm x 233mm, illus. in b&w, softback 2008
