Title: Essay with a tidbit on making primitive bows...
Post by: Eric Garza on October 08, 2014, 10:31:29 pm
Greetings folks, I just posted an essay on my personal website titled Energy, Diminishing Returns and the Future of Food (http://www.howericlives.com/resources/energy-diminishing-returns-and-the-future-of-food/). It occurred to me to post a link here because I start the essay with a story of a recent expedition to cut and split an elm for staves. The subject area might interest people, or not...

That's not an entertaining read, but it was certainly educational.  Thanks!

"Entertaining" may have been poor choice of word. 
Intention of using phrase "not entertaining" was not to be critical, but to convey that it wasn't, for me, casual light reading.  I needed to keep my brain engaged throughout .... wellll, except for the 1st couple paragraphs.   :)
It's well-written, informative, and thought-provoking.  I forwarded link to couple of Ag friends.
