Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Cable looks into why we have had powerful laws that regulate specific impacts on high profile issues while topics tangentially related to our dependence on a petroleum-based economy fall into the 'don't bother me now' category of our collective attention and action... In addition to being an able researcher, Cable is a gifted storyteller... she dedicates most of her work to a broad and deep 'what's wrong with this picture' description of where we are and how we got here... This book puts the blame for our mess right where it belongs - on us as a society." Sustainability, August 2012 "Cable offers a sweeping analysis of how humans live outside their means, fostering a false duality between society and biosphere with decidedly unsustainable technological and petroleum energy dependence... Written for a broad audience, the work deftly combines a jargon-free sociological lens on human behavior with biophysical science questions of sustainability. Recommended." - Choice

Examines environmental policy from a sociological perspective, showing how our petro-dependency causes unprecedented environmental damage and threatens our democracy
