Aujourd'hui, personne ne sait, ou ne veut dire, si la décroissance irréversible de la production pétrolière s'amorce déjà. Beaucoup pensent que la pénurie de l'or noir aura lieu en 2015, voire avant. Cet ouvrage étudie en direct la fin d'une civilisation fondée sur l'énergie bon marché et facile à produire. Il imagine la naissance d'un autre monde, dans lequel nos conceptions économiques, sociales et politiques seront ébranlées et où de nombreux secteurs seront touchés de plein fouet : transports, agriculture, cosmétiques... A partir d'études pertinentes, d'interviews et d'enquêtes, François Marot résume la problématique actuelle, décrit l'ampleur des bouleversements futurs et propose des alternatives pratiques pour vivre sans pétrole.

Summary:
From trips to the market to lighting entire cities, power is pivotal to the simplest of everyday necessities. Wars are fought over it, the planet is polluted by it, but now its price has become too high. Are we capable of shifting to cleaner, safer, more reliable sources of energy? Fueling the Future gathers the best and brightest minds in the field — thinkers like Jeremy Rifkin, L. Hunter Lovins, and Allison MacFarlane — and uses their collective wisdom to tackle this pressing question from several angles. The experts predict what a world without oil, which is estimated to run out in 50 years, would be like. What new energy alternatives are available? The use of hydrogen and fuel cells is examined, with surprising conclusions. Fresh, efficient prose makes the experts' controversial answers readable and engaging, as well as thought provoking.

Summary:
In "Women and Climate Change", Nicole Detraz asks where women in the global North figure in the picture, what that means, and why it matters. Her answers fill critical gaps in what we know about the politics of climate change and gender. The author provides a nuanced account of the characteristics, conditions, and positions associated with women's activities in and experiences of climate change—a multifaceted portrayal of women that also demonstrates the generalization and essentializing that can hinder goals of sustainability and gender justice. Because gender is a social construction, Detraz reminds us, change is possible. Her book offers the suggestion, and the hope, that identifying connections between ideas of gender and climate change might also alter our vision of a livable future.
