Depletion and Abundance: Life on the New Home Front
http://www.amazon.com/Depletion-Abu...inkCode=wey&tag=cruncchick-20&creative=380737
Here's what is says about itself:
Depletion and Abundance explains how we are living beyond our means with or without a peak oil/climate change crisis, and that, either way, we must learn to place our families and local communities at the center of our thinking once again. The author presents strategies to create stronger homes, better health, and a richer family life and to:
live comfortably with an uncertain energy supply
prepare children for a hotter, lower energy, less secure world
survive and thrive in an economy in crisis
maintain a kitchen garden to supply basic food needs
Most importantly, readers will discover that depletion can lead to abundance, and the anxiety of these uncertain times can be turned into a gift of hope and action.
An unusual family perspective on the topic, this book will appeal to all those interested in securing a future for their children and grandchildren.
Sharon Astyk is a former academic who farms in upstate New York with her husband and four children. She also raises livestock, grows vegetables, and writes about food and peak oil. (Check out her blogwww.sharonastyk.com.)
Just wondered if anyone here had read this and if it were any good.
