from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $16.77
Customer Review:
I can't get as excited about global warming as Friedman has. First half of book paints worse-case scenarios in my opinion and is very tiresome reading - very repetetive and overdone with metaphors. Solutions in latter half of book are interesting, but are they all possible or necessary? Am usually a... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Since Alex could not write his own memoir, it is fitting that Irene Pepperberg created this book in his memory. Anyone who is remotely interested in the study of animals will surely enjoy this heartwarming story.

Price: $26.37
Customer Review:
The author does an excellent job of explaining how ethics, policy, biology, culture and big business are connected and have shaped the foods that we eat today. Many of our eating habits in the Western diet simply do not make sense and ultimately have global repurcussions.
The author raises many... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Just a quick comment from a researcher working on local climate change and directly quoted in this book as an example. I am also the author of the book that is number two on the amazon weather list...just behind this book!

| 10. | ![]() | Into the Wild
from MacMillan
Customer Review:
It's ok to be a dreamer. It's ok to want to 'find yourself.' It's really ok to hike and backpack. I've done it myself, but I would never, never enter a wilderness area without, at least, a topographical map. Chris McCandless' story is nothing short of tragic.
Jon Krakauer does a fine job of... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
