About this ebook

Adapting to the End of Oil: Toward an Earth-Centered Spirituality
Americans, who burn more fossil fuels than any other country, will have
a hard time adapting to the end of cheap oil. This book explains how
our materialistic values evolved to make us such wasteful consumers and
how corporations profi t at our expense.
The bad news is that rising prices of oil may bankrupt our economy
unless we learn how to reduce our energy use.
The good news is that earth-centered values are being affi rmed by
increasing numbers of people. The book shows how earth-centered
spirituality can help us live more modestly on the earth and preserve
the climate.

Author

Maynard Kaufman

After receiving his doctorate from the University of Chicago, Maynard Kaufman taught Religion and Environmental Studies at Western Michigan University. His response to the energy crisis of the 1970s was to become a part-time farmer and establish a School of Homesteading. As a lifelong advocate of local food and organic farming, he organized Michigan Organic Food and Farm Alliance in 1991. In 2001 Maynard and his wife Barbara moved into their off-grid house that is powered by renewable energy. They enjoy gardening and earth-centered rituals that celebrate the cycle of the seasons.
