Twilight in the Mind?

A leading independent British book publisher, Profile Books, has released a cornucopian treatise called "The Battle For Barrels: Peak Oil Myths & World Oil Futures" by Duncan Clarke. If nothing else, the book will provide good target practice. At last we get a live one, not some fake little vanity press book (see Corsi, et al).

Check out the last blurb from the marketing page:
The essential crisis inside Peak Oil reflects a condition alike some Twilight In The Mind.
I haven't an idea what this truly means, but such lofty, pretentious pronouncements tend to resonate among the legions of the right-wing, who like to project their own inadequacy on others (e.g. "morbid outlook").
