Disappointing.
This book does not have the kind of information you would need if we were truly "post-petroleum". It is much too optimistic in some ways. It's more of a hippie, living off the grid, decrease your carbon footprint, sort of book. This book doesn't even have enough information to help you if you were living in a third world country. It assumes you have access to all of the modern first world conveniences.

This is the [b:Mother Earth News Almanac|166214|Mother Earth News Almanac|Mother Earth News|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg|160500] for the current generation. Full of lots of solid concrete advice that works no matter what happens in the coming years. There are many yummy and practical recipes as well, discounting the grasshoppers. Though I won't turn my nose up at grasshoppers if it's all we've got.

A lot of the stuff laid out here is what I'm already doing. Gardening, making community, walking, composting, consuming little in the way of manufactured goods at retail. I'm not a stockpiler or a survivalist, but after reading this book, I may just lay in a case of balsamic vinegar and a couple jars of ascorbic acid.

Recommended, even if you deny that anything catastrophic could possibly bring about the end of society as you know it in this best of all possible worlds.
