Kenneth S. Deffeyes is Professor Emeritus at Princeton University. His previous book, "Hubbert's Peak: The Impending World Oil Shortage," was published in 2001 by Princeton University Press.
"We are all hooked on oil, and oil is getting scarcer. Like it or
not, changes are coming. But do we understand our choices, or even
the variables that control our choices? Using aggressive analysis,
common sense, and a liberal dash of humor, Deffeyes lays out our
options. It's your life, your choices, your future; you can't
afford to miss this book" --Brian J. Skinner, Eugene Higgins
Professor of Geology and Geophysics, Yale University
"With his folksy style and penetrating vision, Deffeyes tells it
like it is. This book is another nail in the coffin of the age of
oil." --David Goodstein, Vice Provost, California Institute of
Technology, and author of "Out of Gas: The End of the Age of
Oil"
"Worldwide oil production is now in the process of peaking and will
soon begin an irreversible decline. With compelling, down-to-earth
reasoning, this book explains both why the decline of our most
precious fuel is inevitable, and how challenging it will be to cope
with what comes next." --Richard E. Smalley, University Professor,
Rice University, and Nobel laureate in chemistry, 1996
"A valuable encore to "Hubbert's Peak," this new book by Professor
Deffeyes offers a wide-ranging overview of the world's energy
alternatives 'beyond oil.' Its crystal-clear prose, easily
understood by the layman, is peppered with anecdotes, memories, and
scientific insights, mirroring the author's half century of
first-hand experience in the industry." --A.M. Samsam Bakhtiari,
senior expert, National Iranian Oil Company
"In his new book, Professor Deffeyes stands on the world's peak oil
output, like Moses peering from the mountaintop to the Promised
Land. "Beyond Oil" is a must read for anyone who wants to learn
more about one of the biggest challenges humanity has ever faced."
--Matthew R. Simmons, chairman, Simmons & Company International
