I hate to use such a trite phrase, but there is no other way to put it: Mr. Egan makes history come alive.

Full of information on what we are doing to our environment and food for thought as to possible solutions. Definitely not a scare tactic treatise like many environmentalist-type books tend to be, but a honest look at where we've come from, and where we're going. Things look OK and manageable. The things we've made will take a long time to disappear. The things that we've thrown ...             Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder78 reviews Richard Louv Algonquin Books, 2008 Parents NEED this, take it from a forest kid I'm young enough that I still get called "kid" by my friends' parents, and when I saw the cover of this book in the store, with the kid holding a frog, I instantly felt like this book was about someone just like me.

Jerry Bratcher             1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus194 reviews Charles C. Mann Vintage, 2006 Probably one of my favorite non fiction reads of all time I will keep this brief and to the point. I read a lot of non-fiction. In fact, one of the reasons I cannot bring myself to read another novel is THIS BOOK. I have gotten more from Mann's 1491 than any other I have read over the last five years--maybe more. I recommend that prospective college/high school students read this and learn.             The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World160 reviews 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.
