Green Goes with Everything: Simple Steps to a Healthier Life and a Cleaner Planet
Sloan Barnett

Atria, 2008

Finally Getting Green
Inspired by my best friend Zem of ecofabulous, I've been recycling for over a decade. I even bought a hybrid car two years ago but I've been really slow to go completely green. It wasn't until I read "Green Goes with Everything," that I was propelled to throw out all ...
  
  











  



  
The Lorax (Classic Seuss)
Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel

Random House Books for Young Readers, 1971

I guess I'm a tree-hugger
Okay, so this is probably as preachy as Dr. Suess gets, and it just might get on the nerves of some people, but the tree hugger in me salutes him for it, even as he paints a grimmer picture of environmental destruction than Al Gore ever thought of. Even so, it's ...
  
  











  



  
The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
Michael Pollan

Penguin, 2007

One of the most interesting books you will ever read.
I went into this book with the expectation it would shove a bunch of ideals down my throat, and try to turn me into a vegan. This couldn't be further from the truth. From the very start of The Omnivore's Dilemma, Michael Pollan simply presents the facts (and his own ...
  
  











  



  
The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World
Michael Pollan

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2002

The best
In style and substance this is one of the best books I've read in recent years, as well as one of the most enjoyable. It also broadened my perspective in several areas. I highly recommend.

Bird Song Book
This is a very good book. I bought myself one and this one I sent to my brother in Idaho. I LOVE this book. If you are a bird lover, you need this book.
  
  











  



  
The World Without Us
Alan Weisman

Picador, 2008

Breath-taking in scope, meticulous in research
One of the most fascinating non-fiction titles that I have ever read in my entire life and, believe me, I have read some very good ones. Written by Alan Weisman, an award-winning journalist, who imagines what the world would be like if all of a sudden humans ...

Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit
Daniel Quinn

Bantam, 1995

Thank you Ishmael
This book changed my life. Like a fish swimming in the ocean who takes water for granted, we can't help but take our own culture for granted. It has become invisible to us, because we live in it. This book will make it so you can see it again. Once you start to see ...
  
  











  



  
Peterson Field Guide to Birds of North America (Peterson Field Guides(R))
Roger Tory Peterson

Houghton Mifflin Co, 2008

"Helpful" and "indispensable"
The reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere describe the great value of this lovely tribute to Roger Tory Peterson for anyone interested in birds in the United State and Canada. It was fun to compare those reviews with how the first of Peterson's books was received back ...
  
  











  



  
The Book of Animal Ignorance: Everything You Think You Know Is Wrong
John Mitchinson, John Lloyd

Harmony, 2008

Addictive animal trivia
I defy you to read even a few pages of this little book and not be tempted to yell out to whoever else is in the house: "Did you know that ...?" The other person will laugh and say "You made that up!" This is a perfect book for people who love animals and/or arcane ...
  
  











  



  
The Backyard Birdsong Guide: Eastern and Central North America (Backyard Birdsong Guides)
Donald Kroodsma

Chronicle Books, 2008

WOW!
Wow!! What a terrific book . . . the text, the sounds, the selection of species, the layout . . . everything works perfectly together. And, the Western book is just as impressive as its eastern companion. I opened my pre-release copy, intending to spend just a few ...

Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture
Toby Hemenway

Chelsea Green, 2001

Gaia's Garden
An excellent book and resource. At the time I purchased this book, I also purchased Bill Mollison's seminal work on permaculture. I intended to read Mollison's book first and Gaia's Garden second. After reading the first few pages of Mollison's book, I set it aside ...
  
  











  



  
The Forager's Harvest: A Guide to Identifying, Harvesting, and Preparing Edible Wild Plants
Samuel Thayer

Forager's Harvest Press, 2006

It fills the void!
This book is unique in that it fills a big void in the other wild edible books out there. This void is filled mainly by the chapters entitled "Harvest and Preparation Methods for Wild Plant Foods" and "Storing Wild Foods". Thayer wrote this book with his experience and ...
  
  











  



  
Silent Spring
Rachel Carson

Mariner Books, 2002

Ahead of its time.
This book is more than I expected it to be. It is way ahead of its time and makes an important contribution to the environmental movement.
