End of Oil（ISBN=9780618562114） 英文原版 免费 下载 115盘 pdf txt mobi caj lit

　　You live in this world. You use oil. You must read this book.

The situation is alarming and irrefutable: within thirty years,

even by conservative estimates, we will have burned our way through

most of the oil that is readily available to us. Already, the

costly side effects of dependence on fossil fuel are taking their

toll. Even as oil-related conflict threatens entire nations,

individual consumers are suffering from higher prices at the gas

pump, rising health problems, and the grim prospect of long-term

environmental damage. In this frank and balanced investigation,

Paul Roberts offers a timely wake-up call. He talks to both oil

optimists and oil pessimists, delves deep into the economics and

politics of oil, and considers the promises and pitfalls of

alternatives such as wind power, hybrid cars, and hydrogen. A new

afterword brings the book up to the minute. Brisk, immediate, and

accessible, this is essential reading for anyone who uses oil,

which is to say every one of us.
