| 1. |  | Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America (Thorndike Press Large Print Core Series)
from Gale Cengage
Price: $28.76
Customer Review:
The problem with this work is that in order for it to be reasonable, one must accept Mr. Friedman's premise: that the earth is getting hotter, flatter, and more crowded. While it is not a stretch to believe these things, he presents them as an emergency. Without the emergency he initially creates... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from HarperAudio
Customer Review:
I had a Lab when I was young. I loved the puppy, but due to circumstances with my parents it had to be given away. I was crushed. So this book did bring back memories because my pup was unruly. Unfortunately I never had a chance to work with her.
Anyway this book touches on how a dog can affect... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

How lucky we are that there are humans who dedicate their time/life to bridging the gaps to understanding the differences (and similarities) between species. My regret... is: not meeting Alex. I believe Irene's book is the next best thing. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | When Technology Fails: A Manual for Self-Reliance & Planetary Survival
from Clear Light Books
Customer Review:
Like the title says, I only gave it 4 stars because I have not read through it. More or less it covers a variety of topics and so far very good. I figured it would be another good book to add to my library "When technology does fail". Basically most of the skills and techniques that are in it you... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
With nearly eighty reviews at the time I write this, there probably isn't much more stellar insight that I can give, which hasn't already been given so much more eloquently.

Customer Review:
I bought this book for my husband, we are interested in birding. It turns out it probably will be better for our grandchild, as a good introduction to bird habitats. It's got everything the other reviewers said. But there are things missing: like, any idea of which birds are which and make which... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $34.65
Customer Review:
This is a fascinating book, but one that could be improved. However, the positive (FOR, below) much outweighs the negative (AGAINST, below).
FOR: This book is full of interesting material, most of which is well explained. It follows how eusocial insects construct complex insect societies that... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Human history is full of tantalizing riddles. Some of the most fascinating of these arise from the appearance of ancient ruins in unlikely places, such as Easter Island, or the dense jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula.
