The Transition Handbook     

Creating local sustainable communities beyond oil dependency

Rob Hopkins 2008

Around the world, societies are facing the prospect of a future with dwindling oil reserves, an unstable climate and unpredictable food production. What are the ways we might move away from our dependency on oil, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and still enjoy a good quality of life?

This book provides accounts of how individuals have responded with their local communities to the twin threats of Peak Oil and Climate Change. It includes detailed accounts of Transition initiatives in the UK and profiles of Australian and New Zealand initiatives currently underway. This inspiring and practical guide shows the necessary steps to establishing a transition town in your local area. By addressing the head, heart and hands this guide addresses the issues of why small is inevitable, why having a positive vision is crucial and how to move from the vision to action in your local area.  278pp

The Transition Timeline - for a local, resilient future

Shaun Chamberlin 2009 (UK)

Building on the Transition model as related by Rob Hopkins in “The Transition Handbook” the author presents four alternative “futures” for the UK and the world, with events detailed along a timeline to 2027. These range from “Denial” where we fail to heed the warning signs that we were facing a sustainability emergency, and so failed to take any action; to “the Transition Vision” of cultural shift and acknowledgement of challenges, including the need to drastically and sustainably reduce energy consumption. Includes chapters examining Peak Oil, Climate Change and Energy Descent Action Plans. This book has been described as a map and timeline of how to save our world by offering different pathways forward to a more sustainable future. 190pp
