| 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 Chelsea Green Publishing
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:
The only pleasant thing I found about this book: I didn't pay for it. As a concerned but casual environmentalist, I borrowed this one from the library and am very glad I did.

from Times Books
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
McKibben's Deep Economy is very good as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough towards discussing sustainable economies and societies. Our populations are already far beyond the size Earth could sustain in a style approaching Europe's or North America's economies. A Very Deep Economy would... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Back Bay Books

Customer Review:
I read Paul Hawken's book "The Ecology of Commerce" first. It was so good I decided to read this one too. It's just as good.
The name of the book describes what it is about very well. In a sense capitalism is unnatural because it is unsustainable. In contrast Natural Capitalism is when business... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
