Richard Heinberg is the author of eight books. He is a Senior Fellow of Post Carbon Institute and is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost Peak Oil educators. He writes a regular column for The Ecologist, and has also authored scores of essays and articles that have appeared in numerous journals.


Van Jones is an eco-visionary, award-winning human rights attorney and powerhouse speaker. He is the founder of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights (EBC), a strategy and action center, working for justice, peace, and opportunity in urban America.

Based on a decade of front-line activism, he offers comprehensive solutions and inspirational models to the three grave perils facing society: widening social inequality, radical environmental destruction, and deepening despair. His visionary proposals answer the call for expanded opportunity, ecological sustainability, and renewed hope.
