A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

An exploration of the history of the next twenty years, The Transition Timeline lightens the fear of our uncertain future, providing a map of what we are facing and the different pathways available to us. It describes four possible scenarios for the UK and world over the next twenty years, ranging from Denial, in which we reap the consequences of failing to acknowledge and respond to our environmental challenges, to the Transition Vision, in which we shift our cultural assumptions to fit our circumstances and move into a more fulfilling, lower-energy world. The practical, realistic details of this Transition Vision are examined in depth, covering key areas such as food, energy, demographics, transport and healthcare, and the provide a sense of context for communities working towards a thriving future. The book also provides a detailed and accessible update on climate change and peak oil and the interactions between them, including their impacts in the UK, present and future.

Revue de presse

The Transition Timeline is a hugely valuable manual for anyone committed to turning dreams into reality. Don't just read this book - use it to change your world. -- --Caroline Lucas, MEP, Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

There is obviously no single, magic bullet solution to climate change. But if I was forced to choose one - our best hope of averting the crisis - it would definitely be Transition Towns. --Franny Armstrong, director of the film The Age of Stupid

While definitely focused on empowering the community rather than the policy makers, this book is much more than a folksy agenda for comfort in the crisis. It is a serious plan to reconstruct society in the light of ecological and energetic realities, informed by the best evidence about the vortex of forces influencing the global crisis. --David Holmgren, co-originator of the Permaculture concept
