We live in an oil-dependent world, and have arrived at this level of dependency in a very short space of time, using vast reserves of oil in the process without planning for when the supply is depleted. Most people don't want to think about what happens when the oil runs out (or becomes prohibitively expensive), but The Transition Handbook shows how the inevitable and profound changes ahead can have a positive effect.

These changes can lead to the rebirth of local communities that generate their own fuel, food, and housing; they can encourage the development of local currencies, to keep money in the local area; and they can create a demand for skilled labor, so that people have more control over their lives.

The Transition Handbook is the manual that will guide the populace to begin this journey and build a community that will survive peak oil and climate change.
