About this book

This book challenges the reader to face up to the pressing issue of Finite Global Resources. The author begins by discussing the basics: the various categories of resource and how soon we can expect them to run out. He then considers the steps that society must be prepared to take as a `damage limitation exercise' and, indeed, to best protect what we have left for future generations: not only energy conservation and recycling but also more radical and fundamental measures, such as downgrading the levels of technology employed and substituting unsustainable materials with sustainable ones.
