2.		Animal Factory: The Looming Threat of Industrial Pig, Dairy, and Poultry Farms to Humans and the Environment from St. Martin's Press Price: $13.49 Customer Review: The book isn't objective. However, the author doesn't pretend that it is. Reading it felt like having a discussion with someone who had a particular viewpoint and was trying to persuade me to agree with it. The persuasion wasn't the cheap shot kind, and there were no leaps of logic. Nor did the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Silent Spring (Penguin Modern Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $3.32 Customer Review: I got this info from an article on some "fairness in media" website so it is not mine and I'm only drawing on the parts that express the view I wish to express.

7.		Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power from Chelsea Green Publishing Price: $9.79 Customer Review: I initially purchased this book thinking it would be an expose on chemicals found in our everyday products (and it did include some eyebrow raising info along those lines) but it quickly developed into a detailed explanation of how America no longer dominates the foreign markets as it once it.

9.	[no image]	A Civil Action from Century Customer Review: I had to buy this book for a class in law school and turned out to really enjoy it. It not only is a great plot, but is able to provide helpful lessons about the law. Note, the book is far better than the movie so it is worth a read!

10.		The Fluoride Deception from Seven Stories Press Price: $11.54 Customer Review: This is a book more about deception than Flouride. It focuses on how big industry can muscle government regulators and the academic world to bury or distort uncomfortable issues. In this case, Christopher Bryson shows how this was done by the aluminium and chemical industris- who dump thousands of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		100 Heartbeats: The Race to Save Earth's Most Endangered Species from Rodale Books Price: $12.95 Customer Review: Great book, great read, Jeff Corwin is truly a great vessel to get the word out about animal conservation.

17.		Earth Science from Prentice Hall Price: $24.99 Customer Review: I bought the old edition for only $10 while everyone else in my class bought the new edition for $130.

21.		Cities for a Small Planet: Reith Lectures from Faber and Faber Price: $17.83 Customer Review: There's probably a great truth in the fact that the last 50 years of planning have enrich few and impoverished many. Zoning is simple, clear, fast and economically definable, but it isolates the people who are destined to live there, and enslaves them to the use of car. Overlapping and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


22.		Uncommon Ground: Rethinking the Human Place in Nature from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $9.98 Customer Review: This book is indeed about "rethinking" the environment outside of the usual realms of political advocacy.
