peak stone: life after the crash

The Stone Age did not end for lack of stone.

Sheikh    Yamani, quoted in the issue of the Economist with the best cover ever

No stones = end of Stone Age. In the vast clay field there is a fundamental lack of natural resources, materials that are indispensable for an urban society. The lack of stone may literally be seen as attributing to the end of the Stone Age.
