The Book I Am Reviewing

I have chosen to review the book Powerdown: options and actions for a post-carbon world by Richard Heinberg (2004). I chose this book after reading a few pages of the introduction on Google Books. It appears that it will have a strong focus on solutions and possible outcomes with regard to the world transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Also, as a physicist of sorts, I enjoy the focus on energy use as a key component of the author's arguments. My review will highlight whether these expectations are met.

  1. Sean, I'll be really interested to learn how your inner physicist relates to the inevitable non-linear messy social side of the 'power down' equation!
