Ending the Fossil Fuel Era - The MIT Press Thomas Princen

Commendation Quotes: Combining their own substantial work with that of colleagues, the author-editors present a broad and insightful analysis of the necessity and difficulty of winding down the fossil era. Highly recommended. Commendation Quotes: "Ending the Fossil Fuel Era" is an urgent, timely, and brilliant book. From Appalachia to the Amazon, from Australia to Germany, the authors capture the transnational spirit of resistance to the violence and the dead-endedness of extreme extraction. If you believe we need to make the bold imaginative, ethical, technological, and political transition to a more just and biophysically sustainable planet, this book is indispensable reading."Commendation Quotes: Princen, Manno, and Martin have done the nearly impossible job of acknowledging the reality of climate change while still leaving readers with hope. Rather than dismissing the resistance to new fossil fuel exploration popping up around the world, they provide frontline reports and analyses of the Keep It in the Ground movement that offer a way forward.
