James Howard Kunstler, social critic and peak oil guru, will read from his latest book and sign copies at the Harry W. Schwartz Bookshop, 2559 North Downer Avenue, Milwaukee (at East Webster Place) on Monday April 17, 7:00 p.m.The Long Emergency
Monday, April 17 • 7 pm talk • Downer Ave.
James Howard Kunstler's The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of the Oil Age, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-first Century, now in paperback, was an underground hit, going into nine printings of the hardcover edition. The last two hundred years have seen the greatest explosion of progress and wealth in the history of mankind, much of it based on the exploitation of cheap, nonrenewable fossil-fuel energy. But the oil age is at an end. Life as we know it is about to change radically, and much sooner than we think. The Long Emergency tells us just what to expect after we pass the point of global peak oil production and the honeymoon of affordable energy is over. James Howard Kunstler is the author of two nonfiction books, The Geography of Nowhere and Home from Nowhere, and eight novels.
