Blood and Oil
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/0141020032/ref=dp_olp_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1197761052&sr=8-1
Frankly disappointing, nothing that was not already available through Wikipedia etc.
The author has also a very Americanocentric approach to the Oil issues, and a rather naif interpretation of the Al Queda role.

A New Green History of the World: The Environment and the Collapse of Great Civilizations
http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Green-History-World-Civilizations/dp/0099516683
The book is definitely a bit boring and dry, yet the amount of information exposed is overwhelming; the report on how humans have systematically destroyed the planet's resources is blood chilling. The last chapter about global warming is very realistic and leaves no room for hope.
