Peak Oil Personalities: A unique insight into a major crisis facing mankind

By: Campbell

Peak Oil Personalities is a collection of biographical essays by some of those who have played (and most of whom continue to play) a leading role in raising awareness about the reality of Peak Oil and the enormous economic, social and political implications it has for mankind. Compiled and edited by Colin Campbell, a pioneering exponent of the Peak Oil concept, this important book shows how the various contributors, many with direct experience in the oil industry, came to realise the importance of the issue for themselves and for society in general. It also provides a fascinating insight into how new ideas evolve and commonly meet opposition from vested interests and the so-called establishment. The contributors come from both sides of the Atlantic and are: Steve Andrews, Ugo Bardi, Roger Bentley, Jean-Marie Bourdaire, Colin Campbell, Jeremy Gilbert, Richard Heinberg, Klaus Illum, Jean Laherr?re, Jeremy Leggett, Ray Leonard, Charles Maxwell, Alain Perrodon, Amund Prestegard, Rui Rosa, Michael Ruppert, Nestor Sander, Chris Sanders, J?rg Schindler, Chris Skrebowski, Graham Strouts, Ron Swenson, Francis de Winter, Walter Ziegler, and Werner Zittel. The appendix contains a working model of Peak Oil based on an analysis of regular conventional oil and gas resources by Colin Campbell.
