Smalley, University Professor, Rice University, and 1996 Nobel laureate</b></div><div><br> </div><div>With world oil production about to peak and inexorably head toward steep decline, what fuels are available to meet rising global energy demands? That question, once thought to address a fairly remote contingency, has become ever more urgent, as a spate of books has drawn increased public attention to the imminent exhaustion of the economically vital world oil reserves. Kenneth S. Deffeyes, a geologist who was among the first to warn of the coming oil crisis, now takes the next logical step and turns his attention to the earth&#8217;s supply of potential replacement fuels. In <i>Beyond Oil</i>, he traces out their likely production futures, with special reference to that of oil, utilizing the same analytic tools developed by his former colleague, the pioneering petroleum-supply authority M. King Hubbert.<br><br>&#8220;The bad news in this book is made bearable by the author&#8217;s witty, conversational writing style. If my college econ textbooks had been written this way, I might have learned economics.&#8221; &#8212;Rupert Cutler, <i>The Roanoke Times</i><br></div></div> 108027 13 6 2006 Beyond Oil: The View from Hubbert's Peak total:35|5:4|4:8|3:19|2:4| 35 117 63 9 4 0 false false Thu Aug 27 10:12:07 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 10:17:48 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue Feb 10 13:06:57 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 05:30:34 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 17 02:48:09 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 17 03:01:00 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Jan 25 07:22:40 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 07:23:07 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 13 12:35:09 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 05:35:57 -0700 2008 1/4 4 0 true false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Jan 26 08:42:50 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 26 08:44:09 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jul 21 11:42:07 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 11:44:54 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Jan 23 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 07:02:11 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 19 16:41:55 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Aug 05 21:36:23 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 05 21:37:42 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 04 18:51:45 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 18:51:45 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 19 21:02:39 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 21:02:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 06 15:01:33 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 15:01:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 12 19:36:17 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 19:36:17 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jun 06 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 09 15:22:15 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 15:22:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 12:14:27 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 12:14:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 07:23:51 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 07:23:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 16 22:21:09 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 22:21:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 12 16:01:03 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 16:01:03 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 23 12:11:28 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 12:11:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 08 21:57:25 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 21:57:25 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=112193
