内容简介 This may be the most important book you or anyone else will read in the next fifty years. Assuming humanity survives that long. Draining the lifeblood of industrial civilization, the terminal decline of oil and gas production will spark a crisis far more dangerous than international terrorism, and more urgent than climate change. World leaders know it, so why aren’t they telling?
作者简介 David Strahan is an award-winning investigative journalist and documentary film-maker, and has worked for the BBC's The Money Programme and Horizon. He has produced major documenatries, including Inside the Enron Scandal and No Accounting for Greed  (about the collapse of Arthur Andersen). This is his first book.
