The continuing economic crisis, escalating fuel costs and rising food prices are
symptoms of problems with the financial system, depleting world resources and
climate change. Nicole Foss presents a very accessible analysis of the predicament
that faces us all. No jargon. No esoteric technical terms. She predicts a challenging future - but also suggest actions we can all take to minimise its effects.

Nicole is an academic, with degrees in biology and law, a post-graduate diploma in air and water pollution control and a masters in international law in
development.

She was a Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, where she specialized in nuclear safety in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union,
and conducted research into electricity policy at the EU level. Nicole ran the Agri-Energy Producers' Association of Ontario, where she has focused on farm
based biogas projects and grid connections for renewable energy. Recognising the interrelationship between energy and economics she has studied the world financial system for two decades.
