by Albert Bates Albert Bates penned this provocative new book that is packaged as a cookbook, but is chock-full of relatively eco-friendly information that goes beyond food itself into food for thought. Bates, who founded the Ecovillage Training Center, offers organic recipes with accompanying how-to guides to practice total post-petroleum dining from the garden to the table. Written in an easy but definitive style peppered with many quotes, this useful book is filled with tabbed and shaded recipes (with a much appreciated difficulty rating), statistics, black and white illustrations and photographs. If you aren't familiar with Mr. Bates, he has been involved in the eco-future niche for many years. He has taught sustainable design, natural building, permaculture and restoration ecology to fellow eco-futurists from around the world. This new book is much more than a cookbook, really a survival guide with a profound foreword by Richard Heinburg, who is one of the world's noted Peak Oil educators. With growing technologies in wind power and other alternative energies, don't dismiss this cutting-edge synopsis of the future. Plus, if you aren't familiar with Post Petroleum or Peak Oil, you should be, and this book is a great starting point. |
