Out of Gas by David Goodstein
Science tells us that an oil crisis is inevitable. Why and when? And what will our future look like without our favorite fuel?
"An eye-opener…[Goodstein] never preaches, but neither does he pull any punches" -- San Francisco Chronicle
"Should be read and reread by anyone who expects to live past 2010." -- Rick Smalley, Nobel laureate and Hackerman Professor of Chemistry, Rice University
"Goodstein's predictions are based on a sophisticated understanding of physics and thermodynamics, and on a simple observation about natural resources. I hope Goodstein is wrong…if he's right, I'm sorry for my kids. And I'm especially sorry for theirs." -- Paul Raeburn - New York Times Book Review
