.Unbowed: A Memoir (Vintage) City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature by: Wangari Maathai September 04, 2007 Wangari Maathai is such an inspiration because she is identifiable to so many groups. She is empowering to women, to mothers, to advocates for education, for biology, for equality, and most importantly she is an inspiration to anyone who ever thought their one voice could change the planet. Maathai writes with a sincerity that can be identified in any language! Read this book, to learn about Africa, about plants, about women, about everything. Most importantly read this book to learn about a rather amazing woman who never backed down from a fight for what's right. Let the greenbelt movement, move you. >>See More Reviews & Details on Unbowed: A Memoir (Vintage) |

.Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America (Kaufman Field Guides) City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature by: Kenn Kaufman, Eric R. Eaton February 28, 2007 The strengths of this book are the excellent photos (digitally touched up, that is), good, basic info, and a clear but informative, non-technical writing style. As with any field guide intended for the general reader, the picture method of identification has its pitfalls, but still, insects (at least to the family and genus level) are much easier to identify with a decent field guide than plants or especially fungi and mushrooms, due to their depauperate character suite. So overall, a nice guide to enhance one's knowledge and appreciation of the insect phylum. You can learn a lot from this guide, but I recommend that for every serious amateur naturalist you try to learn enough to some day attempt formal, professional taxonomic keys to the major groups ...

.The Long Descent: A User's Guide to the End of the Industrial Age City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature by: John Michael Greer September 01, 2008 This book has some interesting parts, but, like Kunstler's Long Emergency (which is racist, histrionic junk), it also contains some major logical inconsistencies. The key point is one of efficiency. That is to say, both authors assume that industrial civilization can only be sustained with the current level of energy and material consumption, and this is patently untrue. The citizens of the E.U. have most of the modern conveniences but use only half the resources that we do, and the Japanese do the same on a quarter of our level. Moreover, there are good reasons to think that most of the things we really care about can be managed on no more than a tenth of the resources we currently use. Both authors also seem to assume that the average person will be ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on The Long Descent: A User's Guide to the End of the Industrial Age |

.Borror and DeLong's Introduction to the Study of Insects City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature by: Norman F. Johnson, Charles A. Triplehorn May 19, 2004 As an amateur entomologist with interests in their taxonomy, this book was perfect for identifying insects to the family level. There are sections on insect morphology and ecology in the beginning to help the reader become familiar with entomological and taxonomic nomenclature, as well as sections and keys on Arthropoda as a whole, orders of arachnids, millipedes, and centipedes, and families of spiders, as well as the families of all orders of North American insects. A must-have for any insect collector's collection (of books anyway)! >>See More Reviews & Details on Borror and DeLong's Introduction to the Study of Insects |
