At Whyte Books, the bookshop in Schull,

7:30 pm

Friday the 13th of July

Come and celebrate the release of a new book by one of the world's most prominent heroes of the Peak Oil movement, mentor to many and a man we of West Cork should be proud to call a local. Colin Campbell is a retired oil engineer with over 40 years in the oil industry and a wealth of experience on the international lecture circuit. He is the founder of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, and features in several acclaimed documentaries on the subject. His new book, a collection of biographical essays by some of the most famous exponents of Peak Oil, serves as both a clarion call to sustainability and a broad and balanced analysis of the evolving crisis. Also present at the launch will be Chris Sanders who is an expert on the geopolitics of energy due to his insider knowledge of investment banking, and Jeremy Gilbert; petrochemical engineer. They too, are proponents of the Peak Oil movement, lecture internationally, and feature in Colin's Peak Oil Personalities.
