Book week at the Oil Drum

[pscot]

Highly recommended for those who want to flesh out their summer reading list. Looks like the conversation will range well beyond technical issues. Should be interesting.

...This post's intent is akin to a 'book-collage' - each poster can list up to 3 books that they have read that they'd recommend for others to learn about the wider boundary issues surrounding energy, resource depletion, sustainability, etc. Basically a reference list for human supply and demand on a full planet.

This will be a three part post - the two Campfires this Wednesday and Saturday p.m. will be for skills/gardening/reference books and novels/fiction meaningful other selections. With no repeats, we might amass quite a reference list as more people add their picks. A brief description of what the book is about, or a quote would be great. My three are below the fold...
