He considers the nature of an oil-dependent world facing energy descent and what lessons can ce learned from past energy-constrained societies. With no large-scale plan B to energize and mobilize societies, Urry assesses the likelihood of some very different futures for this century. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Petroleum reserves|xForecasting.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008003326 650 7 Petroleum reserves|xForecasting.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1059836 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 773 0 |tEBL 776 08 |iPrint version:|aUrry, John.|tSocieties beyond Oil : Oil Dregs and Social Futures.|dLondon : Zed Books, ©2013 |z9781780321691 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=529453|zOnline eBook.
