Now, Peak Oil is used thousands of times a day by journalists, politicians, industry leaders, economists, scientists and countless others around the globe. Peak Oil is not the end of oil but it tells us the end is in sight. Anyone interested in food production, economic growth, climate change or global security needs to understand this new reality. In Peeking at Peak Oil Professor Kjell Aleklett, President of ASPO International and head of the world’s leading research group on Peak Oil, describes the decade-long journey of Peak Oil from extremist fringe theory to today’s accepted fact: Global oil production is entering terminal decline. He explains everything you need to know about Peak Oil and its world-changing consequences from an insider’s perspective. In simple steps, Kjell tells us how oil is formed, discovered and produced. He uses science to reveal the errors and deceit of national and international oil authorities, companies and governments too terrified to admit the truth. He describes his personal involvement in the intrigues of the past decade. What happens when a handful of giant oil fields containing two thirds of our planet’s oil become depleted? Will major oil consumers such as the EU and US face rationing within a decade? Will oil producing nations conserve their own oil when they realize that no one can export oil to them in the future? Does Peak Oil mean Peak Economic Growth? If you want to know the real story about energy today and what the future has in store, then you need to be “Peeking at Peak Oil”. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | 1461434238 | | Country Of Origin | India | | Dimensions | 16 x 2.03 x 23.62 cm | | Importer | Atlantic Publishers and Distributors (P) Ltd., 7/22, Ansari Road, Darya Ganj, New Delhi - 110002 INDIA, Email – customercare@atlanticbooks.com, Ph – 011-47320500 | | Isbn 10 | 9781461434238 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1461434238 | | Item Weight | 744 g | | Language | English | | Packer | Peacock Books, DE-155 Tagore garden, west delhi, New DELHI - 110027 Email – customercare@atlanticbooks.com, Ph – 011-47320500 | | Print Length | 336 pages | | Publication Date | 29 May 2012 | | Publisher | Springer Nature | ## Images ![Peeking at Peak Oil - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PYBBATvKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Consigliatissimo *by on Reviewed in Italy 15 December 2012* Ottimo libro divulgativo sul "picco del petrolio" ma anche sull'industria petrolifera in generale.Ottime illustrazioni, ampia documentazione e tantissimi dati.Probabilmente, la ricchezza dei dati rende la parte finale del libro di difficile lettura per chi non è avvezzo ad analisi quantitative.E' comunque un testo fondamentale sul VERO problema del nostro futuro...neanche molto lontano. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most important book in the history of the world. Most people won't even come close to reading it. *by on Reviewed in the United States 10 January 2013* Sometime 2006/7 I remember having a profound feeling that things were off course but had very little understanding of the way civilization truly functioned as a whole system. I ignored it, caught up in the "infinite growth game". I was paid good money in the financial sector and it would always be that way. 2008 was the very first of the "Peak Oil" warning shots across the bow of civilization. Not only have most people ignored it, the powers that be have systematically attempted to decieve, pretend and extend whilst all the time disrespecting the universal laws of nature. It's beyond comprehension and both Kjell and Colin were on to it long ago. Our leaders are delusional if not outright psychotic. We can't lay the blame squarely at their feet however, for are they not just a reflection of society as a whole? It's safe to say most people simply will not accept the truth and mass delusion as we know can quickly turn into mass psychosis, a more sinister illness.As for the book, all I can say is this; Kjell Aleklett and Colin Campbell have to go down as two exceptionally brave men. They really are inspiring leaders. They have dared to speak the truth. I for one will make attempts to change my life and do the best I can to live more sustainably. We are part of this planet not seperate from it. What we do to the planet we do to ourselves. 7 billion souls and rising mortgaged off the back of cheap oil and now it's time to pay.The level of scientific detail and analysis is astounding. The painstaking research undertaken is exemplary as is the explanation of complex connected energy systems delievered in simple form. So much so that most if not all other global institutions, have tuned into the scientifically detailed "peer reviewed" work undertaken by these scientists. The IEA, the EIA, WTO, OECD, CIA, Pentagon, MUST, MI5/6 and a list of other alphabet soup of global agencies. I'm grateful to science for giving us logic, reason and rationality. I am now forewarned and therefore forearmed and this is empowering. Giving me power therefore gives me optimism and frees me from delusions of grandeur. The exact effect these two men wish to have on the world.Once you start reading, you will not stop. You wont have to wait for decades to see whether these men are speaking the truth, try months. The greatest powerdown in history could only be a matter of months away.As much as I'd like to believe we have an abundant amount of energy to power us through for centuries I suspect it's simply not the case and the case presented is compelling. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent book on peak oil *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 July 2013* This is an interesting book about the story of peak oil. It starts by describing what is oil, how it can be found, how it can extracted, what if allows us to do, what are the consequences of its use. All of of this is told by the perspective of the ASPO president and his journey when he decided to study oil and its impact on our society. The book is not very technical and is accessible to every one. A must read on the issue of peak oil. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/483701370-peeking-at-peak-oil](https://www.desertcart.in/products/483701370-peeking-at-peak-oil) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-15*
