I believe if you call those books non-fiction then these qualify as well.

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.

Green Eggs and Ham.

The World Without Us is one of my favorite books of all time, so glad you included it on this life.

Right now I’m reading Dread by Philip Alcabes – it’s a semi-polemical look on how we, as global citizens, approach pandemics. It’s a fascinating take on cultural anchoring and epidemiology. A must read.

The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century by James Howard Kunstler. A bit over-the-top but it definitely made me think about what our world might be like in the future.

Beyond Fossil Fools: The Roadmap to Energy Independence by 2040 by Joseph M. Shuster. Finally, a book about energy written by a scientist, with scientific facts to back up his ideas!

I'd definitely go with Affluenza and Peter Singer's new book on the ethics of poverty: The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty

I see you have a great list of books.
I love reading and I look ways to get some free time to read. One good book is like a good company.
I believe that if we want to change the world , we can teach our children to love reading and learning about different subjects, not only what the schools tell them to read, which is good, but I believe not enough.
They all can read how to protect our most important home, our Earth. The generations before us they forgot that, the only people on this earth who new how important the Earth was, and is, are the Original Americans, The Indians.

funny thing- i used to be a right eco type, in f.o.e, grenpeace and and into alternative medicines and all that – although i am still a veggy after 25 years; i have become a total cynic on the ever expanding herbal medical, magic faithhealing industry- i took chinese herbal remedies for 5 years to try and cure something and all it did was cost me a packet and make my stomach ache.
i now feel a right mug as western bio medicine sorted out the problem within 6 months and was free on the N.h.S.
However, i guess life is all trial and error, and horses for courses.
