Richard Heinberg’s newest book, POWER: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival, was reviewed by columnist John Bos of Greenfield Recorder.

My dismal belief is confirmed by Richard Heinberg in his new book “Power: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival.” Heinberg, after earning my pessimism, does offer his readers a smidgeon of hope for humankind at the end of his book. He urges a society that voluntarily limits “its power by developing its aesthetic creativity and spirituality” by “striving for happiness rather than dominance over nature.”
