SeattleOil.com The Internet writings of John Michael Greer - beyond any doubt the greatest peak oil historian in the
English language - have finally made their way into print. Greer fans will recognize many of the book's passages from
previous essays, but will be delighted to see them fleshed out here with additional examples and analysis.The Long
Descent is one of the most highly anticipated peak oil books of the year, and it lives up to every ounce of hype. Greer
is a captivating, brilliantly inventive writer with a deep knowledge of history, an impressive amount of mechanical
savvy, a flair for storytelling and a gift for drawing art analogies. His new book presents an astonishing view of our
society's past, present and future trajectory--one that is unmatched in its breadth and depth. Reviewed by Frank
Kaminski
  
  Wired.com The Long Descent is a welcome antidote to the armageddonism that often accompanies
peak oil discussions. "The decline of a civilization is rarely anything like so sudden for those who live through it"
writes Greer, encouragingly; it's "a much slower and more complex transformation than the sudden catastrophes imagined
by many soical critics today."
  The changes that will follow the decline of world petroleum production are likely
to be sweeping and global, Greer concludes, but from the perspective of those who live through them these changes are
much more likely to take gradual and local forms. Reviewed by Bruce Sterling
  
   
  
  Americans
are expressing deep concern about US dependence on petroleum, rising energy prices, and the threat of climate change.
Unlike the energy crisis of the 1970s, however, there is a lurking fear that now the times are different and the crisis
may not easily be resolved.
  
  The Long Descent examines the basis of such fear through three core
themes:
  
   Industrial society is following the same well-worn path that has led other civilizations into
decline, a path involving a much slower and more complex transformation than the sudden catastrophes imagined by so many
social critics today.
   The roots of the crisis lie in the cultural stories that shape the way we understand the
world. Since problems cannot be solved with the same thinking that created them, these ways of thinking need to be
replaced with others better suited to the needs of our time.
   It is too late for massive programs for top-down
change; the change must come from individuals.
  
  Hope exists in actions that range from taking up a
handicraft or adopting an “obsolete” technology, through planting an organic vegetable garden, taking charge
of your own health care or spirituality, and building community.
  
  Focusing eloquently on constructive
adaptation to massive change, this book will have wide appeal.
  
  John Michael Greer is a certified Master
Conserver, organic gardener, and scholar of ecological history. The current Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of
Druids in America (AODA), his widely-cited blog, The Archdruid Report (thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com) deals with peak
oil, among other issues. He lives in Ashland, Oregon.
  
  Biography
  Born in the gritty Navy town of
Bremerton, Washington and raised in the south Seattle suburbs, I began writing about as soon as I could hold a pencil.
SF editor George Scithers' dictum that all would-be writers have a million words of so of bad prose in them, and have to
write it out, pretty much sums up the couple of decades between my first serious attempt to write a book and my first
published book, "Paths of Wisdom", which appeared in 1996. These days I live in Cumberland, Maryland with my spouse
Sara; serve as presiding officer -- Grand Archdruid is the official title -- of the Ancient Order of Druids in America
(AODA), a Druid order founded in 1912; and write in half a dozen nonfiction fields, nearly all of them focused on the
revival of forgotten ideas, insights, and traditions of practice from the rubbish heap of history.
