Portland Peak Oil is pleased to announce the restarting of the reading circle for the book When Technology Fails by Matthew Stein, and that Mat Stein will be joining us!

This book is an important reference on how to deal with the disruption of services in many critical areas including water, electricity, agriculture, and medical services, and is highly recommended reading.

The reading circle will meet the first Wednesday of every month, starting June 6th at 7:00 p.m. at St. Francis Church, SE 11th & Pine. In addition, after each month’s reading, a forum topic will be posted for online discussion on the current chapter at www.portlandpeakoil.org/discussion, which will allow participation by anyone who is unable to attend the Wednesday night meetings due to their schedule or remote location. Copies of the book may be ordered through Laughing Horse Books at SE 10th & Burnside, 503-236-2893.

On June 6th We will introduce the reading circle format and review chapters 1 & 2. The following months we will cover one chapter per month unless otherwise noted. It will not be necessary to have done the reading to participate in the meetings or online discussions, but it is likely to enhance your level of participation & the quality of your experience. The reading circle is free and open to everyone.
