1.		Silent Spring from Mariner Books Price: $12.91 Customer Review: If you want to be in the worst mood you've ever been in for no reason at all, I highly suggest reading this book.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		A Civil Action from Arrow Books Ltd Customer Review: If you're interested in the law, and have little or no idea how complex cases are brought to court, this is the book for you. ACA is equally gripping as human story (what a story!) and legal procedural (what a case!). I never realized what lengths some lawyers will go to to see a case through, what... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Second Nature from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Customer Review: Pollan is a very bright and clever writer and all his books are entertaining and well-researched. But his point of view is all humanist and as such is part of the same old agenda as even the worse earth-raping capitalists. Indeed, his later books and essays advocate killing animals, "getting over"... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.	[no image]	Environment from Saunders College Publishing Price: $7.99 Customer Review: Excellent condition of book. Received in timely manner. Glad I paid $2.99 instead of $95 to the school!	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Animal Factory: The Looming Threat of Industrial Pig, Dairy, and Poultry Farms to Humans and the Environment from St. Martin's Press Price: $14.33 Customer Review: Sometimes it seems that the only people who truly support CAFOs, or animal factory farms, are those who stand to profit from them. This is made brilliantly clear in //Animal Factory,// David Kirby's exposé into the business. To most people, especially those who are forced to live in their... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want: A Book About Noise from PublicAffairs Price: $15.15 Customer Review: Great, great book. Truly engaging and very interesting. Saw the author on The Colbert Report and went and got the book. Not a whole lot to say other than if you are considering buying this book, do it. And even if you aren't considering it, do it!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		PLAN B 4.0 from Norton Customer Review: very easy read but not too simplistic. covers most areas of today and tomorrow's "green" energies. must read.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		The Geography of Nowhere: The Rise and Decline of America's Man-Made Landscape from Free Press Price: $7.20 Customer Review: Any rational individual must be deeply concerned about the spread of sprawl and the overwhelming dominance of the private car over our lives. This is as eloquent an expression of that horror as you might ever find. My only worry is that he departs from objectivity now and then, in his... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Oil Spill! (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) from Collins Price: $2.60 Customer Review: This book is a perfect hook for the classic oil spill in a pie-pan simulation lab. Stop reading aloud before the clean-up methods and have students explore their own clean up theories. Then debrief the lab by reading the rest of the book aloud and discussing.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Earth Science from Prentice Hall Price: $9.49 Customer Review: I bought the old edition for only $10 while everyone else in my class bought the new edition for $130. There isn't really a difference in the editions. The review questions are all the same. All they did was add a couple new "HD" pictures. The other different thing is the new edition moves chapter 8... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Fluoride Deception from Seven Stories Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: the ZOG, zionist occupied government of America is using FLUORIDE to deactivate your Pineal Gland to close your third eye- the light of truth, so that you arent able to differientate the truth from all the garbage they pour our into the controlled media. perhaps DMT and associates will make things... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Plan B 3.0 from Norton Customer Review: Brown's contemporary plan for saving human civilization is a "MUST READ" on the primary reading source for my doctoral International Communications course.

16.		Uncommon Ground: Rethinking the Human Place in Nature from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $12.50 Customer Review: This book is indeed about "rethinking" the environment outside of the usual realms of political advocacy. The editor, William Cronon, is an historian, and this book is the result of a multi-disciplinary conference of scholars working in surprising niches of environmental studies. What makes... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		POWER TRIP: FROM OIL WELLS TO SOLAR CELLS - OUR RIDE TO THE RENEWABLE FUTURE: A JOURNEY THROUGH OUR ENERGY PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE from HARPERPRESS Customer Review: I liked the book in general, good information but too USA biased for my taste, although I suppose it is meant for an American audience. Enjoyable read nevertheless.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Our Stolen Future: Are We Threatening our Fertility, Intelligence, and Survival? from Unknown Customer Review: IF you are a scientist this book will seem a little elementary and mildly informative. To everyone else, while informative, the entire book could have been condensed into 100 pages. There are long expanses of drearily written episodes that would have been better served being in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Renewable Energy from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $48.49 Customer Review: I would have liked to have received this item by now. I ordered it over a MONTH ago. Amazon has an awfully poor delivery service. That is my review!!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power from Chelsea Green Publishing Price: $7.97 Customer Review: I actually purchased this book looking for additional information about the chemicalization of our food supply. It was covered, but was a small portion of the book. It read quite technical and was hard for me to follow. But then again, that is personal bias on my part. My brain does no work that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

Victims who had to leave,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		100 Heartbeats: The Race to Save Earth's Most Endangered Species from Rodale Books Price: $8.22 Customer Review: I thought of Corwin as a good TV host and knowledgeable zoologist and didn't know he was also a good writer. In this book, he writes movingly of his experiences with some of the world's rarest wildlife. (The title refers to the "100 Heartbeats Club" - the species with less than 100 known survivors.)... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		Savages from Pan Books Price: $65.63 Customer Review: I was a slap-happy travel writer looking forward to experiencing the most bio-diverse country on the plant for its size.

Then I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Earth Odyssey from Abacus Price: $25.22 Customer Review: Fascinating yet sobering, this book offers a unique perspective you won't get out of most "environmental" books.

28.		The Sea Around Us from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $8.95 Customer Review: I bought this book to read to my son and really it's long and tedious and I don't think we'll finish it. For one thing, it goes by the billions of years theory which we don't subscribe to since there really isn't evidence, just speculation. There is lots of good scientific information for someone... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.	[no image]	Energy (Saunders Golden Sunburst Series) from Harcourt School Price: $20.00 Customer Review: The book was all beat up, but the seller said it would be. It was a ton cheaper than buying it new, though.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


30.		The Living Shore: Rediscovering a Lost World from Bloomsbury USA Price: $8.99 Customer Review: Olympia Oysters. They were once abundant like many other that went off the face of the earth.
