Se nourir [sic] pour la vie

John Baines

Chaque livre de cette collection fait le point sur les menaces touchant les ressources naturelles (ici, les ressources énergétiques) et propose quelques solutions possibles aux problèmes. Le texte, clair et bien documenté, est appuyé de statistiques, d'études de cas illustrant des enjeux particuliers, de capsules d'informations et de citations. Le tout est illustré de nombreuses photographies, dans une mise en pages soignée, bien qu'un peu serrée. [SDM].
