essential reading
By DJ
I'm two thirds way through this book and overall find it an inspiring read. The first section in particular summarises some of the issues in a very easy to understand style. I liked the section on psychology particularly - I think both grieving, shock and addiction models are useful to understanding the apparently irrational responses of people to climate change and peak oil.The rest of the book is harder to read - a lot of detail about how one should go about starting a transition initiative. Some of this stuff makes very important points about embedding the initiative into the community and I appreciate that it is derived from experience. At the same time I found it somewhat prescriptive, especially the directions for conducting meetings/workshops etc. This is a bit of a turn off - there are of course lots of ways of doing these things and I feel it would have been better just to refer to some resources or put these in appendices.We have to act on climate change and peak oil and I buy the resilient local economy model. There is lots of useful stuff in this book, maybe some of it just more detailed than necessary.

Good guide on how to start your own Transition
By Mr. J. Horsfall
This book is a guide to how to start a transition movement to change your local area to make it more resilient to peak oil and climate change. It is not a polemic full of facts and figures on these two problems.The book largely focuses on the successes and failures of other Transitions (often Totnes is the main example, but there is a lot about Kinsale and other places too). It gives practical guidance on how to start or enagage with a Transition movement.It is good at what it sets out to do, but will not suit everyone who is interested in this area. The recommended reading list is comprehesive and useful, perhaps the books listed there would suit many individuals more (hence 3 stars, although if you are an activist really thinking about starting a movement for change this is a 4 star book).

a "compelling and engaging vision of a post carbon world"
By Jeremy Williams
`The Transition Handbook: from oil dependency to local resilience` is the guidebook to the Transition Towns movement. It explains the problems of peak oil and climate change, presents re-localization and resilience as responses that will transition us to a post-carbon future, and describes how you can set up your own transition initiative.All of this is divided into three broad sections, `the head', `the heart', and `the hands'. First, the problem, and Hopkins explains peak oil and climate change in simple and straightforward terms. He avoids the controversies, and focuses on the local - these are things that will affect each of us, in our every day lives.`The heart' deals with motivation, and Hopkins draws on addiction therapy and psychology to talk about how people perceive threats, and how they handle change. The environmental movement is failing because it lacks a "compelling and engaging vision of a post carbon world". Instead,the Transition Towns model us a positive articulation of the future. It captures the imagination, empowers and energises.`The Hands' gets down to the practical details, from the principles of Permaculture, how to write a press release, working with a local council, films to show, the experiences those who have gone before. There are sections on running productive meetings or discussions with large numbers of people. It's practical and realistic, and really does feel like a handbook or a manual. (I should also mention that from a design point of view, The Transition Handbook is a nice piece of work. It's big and square and has wide margins that invite you to scribble notes.)Transition Towns is the rarest of things, being a response to climate change and peak oil that is positive and proactive. "Too often environmentalists try to engage people in action by painting apocalyptic visions of the future as a way of scaring them into action" says Hopkins. "What would happen if we came at this the other way round, painting a picture of the future so enticing that people instinctively feel drawn towards it."
