Back of book:

'A tour de force... An outstandingly clear, lucid and readable book about a highly complex issue that is central to our times. If i could recommend some books for George Bush and Tony Blair to read, this would be one of them' Michael Meacher, GUARDIAN

Billions of people around the world enjoy an unprecedented standard of living based on one thing: oil. And each year we dreamed more. Everything we buy, from McDonald's hamburger to cancer drugs, represents a measure of energy produced and consumed. But how can this sustain itself, when already we have burned our way through half the easy available oil?

Yet the persuit of fuel is relentless. In this devastating piece of reportage, Paul Roberts shows what is likely to happen, why the transition from oil will be complicated, traumatic and possibly dangerous, and what it will mean for our daily lives.

'This book may very well become for fossil fuels what Fast Food Nation was to food' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

'Roberts gives a thorough yet highly readable investigation of our dependance on oil and how to break it. It's an issue of massive proportions, yet Roberts is also careful to keep a perspective on it' GLASGOW HERALD

'The End of Oil does what it says. It looks at an energy economy that is "falling apart" because global oil demand will soon begin to outstrip supply...It looks, in short, at a world beyond oil' David Smith, SUNDAY TIMES
