Something New Under the Sun: An Environmental History of the Twentieth-Century World (2000, Global Century Series) (J R. McNeill, University Professor, Georgetown University)

Prologue excerpt.

Darwinian I agree, the only thing worse than Peak Oil is no Peak Oil.

Let's see..... scenes from Iraq are on the teevee every day, has anyone noticed that the place is a barren, dust-filled, wasteland? This is the effect of humans unless they are on a very short leash.

“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”

—Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)
