This edited collection aims to move the narrative about energy intensive social practices forward, from one dominated by discussions about their dynamics and how they have emerged and evolved over time and focus on how they can be re-configured to be less energy intensive in the future. The book is divided into three sections: 1. 'Maps, models and scenario's within post carbon transitions' focuses on exploring the possibilities and potential offered by a range of different approaches to support practice theory inspired transitions to a post-carbon world; 2. 'Making post-carbon futures in the present', analyses a number of case studies in which attempts have been made to intervene in practices, highlighting the practical difficulties of achieving such a transition and in opening up questions about the nature of the practices such a future could be populated by; 3. 'The future of governance for a post carbon world', examines the ways that forms of governing shape and shift practices and discusses what this means for cultivating governance processes that could steer practice toward a post-carbon future.
