This is very quick and easy read. It's full of good ideas and information about green living without being preachy. It was a little short, perhaps only covering the first six months of his green-living efforts. I would like to have heard about the winter and perhaps the second summer. A book chronicling a whole year would have been even more interesting to me, instead of just his start-up efforts.

Very interesting, scientific and highly readable. Mundy details the myriads of options, dilemmas, heartbreaks and joys found in the world of artificial reproductive technology today. Once I began reading this book, I couldn't put it down because of the stories of the families and their struggles. This was a topic in which I already felt knowledgeable, but I came to realize I had scratched the surface. Highly recommended.

This is an interesting book in which Becker recounts her own experience with a brain tumor with levity and cute drawings. She also highlights the pressures it put on her relationships, work and life style. It's informative- both for what it describes and what it leaves out (i.e., alternative therapies). I recommend this book to anyone who has ever been sick or knows someone who has been sick or might get sick.

Malusa details a decade-long effort at pedaling his bicycle to the lowest points on six continents. Humorous, informative and detailed, the books describes Malusa's travels and encounters with the natives from Australia to Russia, Dijibouti to Death Valley. "Into Thick Air" is highly readable and entertaining.

Thoroughly loved this heartfelt description of a man and his (found) dog. Kerasote explores canine evolution and the symbiotic relationship between humans and dogs, while telling of his exploits with Merle. Have Kleenex ready for the last quarter of the book.

This is not the rollicking shock comedy of Running... or even Magical Thinking. This is a thin, haunting ribbo of sheer terror- coursing through Burroughs' early years with his father- into young adulthood. Disturbing and inescapable, it is only Burroughs' gossamer descriptions that kept me able to read the book through to the end.
