The tells us the truth about where to go. I woke up years ago so this great book fed my appetite for more. It is just what the doctor ordered Awesome but truthful it awakens us up again. My book is out on loans from our church.

I was somewhat sceptical when I read Andrew Nikiforuk's glowing review of The Leap in the Globe and Mail because I am familiar with his bias - and happen to largely agree with him on many issues! However, having read the book, I agree with him in recommending it. The book is very readable and contains some concepts that we and our governments need to learn and apply, because we continue to burn oil as if it had no adverse effects on us all - and especially on our children and grandchildren. Turner shows us that the technology exists that will reduce in a major way our dependence on fossil fuels and shows us many examples of changes that are taking place in many countries and cities that we can and should emulate. Read this book; give copies to your younger friends and to your politicians.

We've all been searching for a way to create a sustainable and resilient future for our children and grandchildren. Chris Turner forges on thru the shadowy corners of doom and gloom to arrive over a solid bridge into a completely attainable bright future that we all want ourselves and our descendents to live in. No Pollyanna story this, capability grounded in reality, a huge sigh of relief is experienced by all- finally direction.
Thanks tons, Chris!
