Coming soon. :-D You can read the "blad" or sneak peek at their website, however: here. Looks like an excellent tome, with a focus on the practical, which is what you we want.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')ools for Transition #1: The Self-Teaching Peak Oil Talk
There are two ways one can deliver a peak oil presentation. The first is to stand up in front of a group of people and speak. The second is to get the group to give itself the presentation.
How so, when they know nothing about it you might ask? Aha. This is where the Self-Teaching Peak Oil Talk comes in. Simply print a good peak oil powerpoint (the Transition Network is producing a generic
one which is a good place to start) on to A3 or A4 sheets, and on the back of each sheet put some text (short and to the point) which explains the slide.
Then distribute the cards among the participants and, like guests at a party, invite them to mingle and to tell each other the information on their ‘slides’. As well as being a fun way to start getting people familiar with peak oil issues, it is also a great ice-breaker at an event or at the beginning of a course.

And let me tell you something: I dig your work.

Interesting. I just came across this also. Anyone else read this?

I would hesitate to guess that since a lot of 'change' is going to happen one way or another, those towns that 'get off on the right' foot should to quite well...
