1.		The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals from Penguin Price: $9.60 Customer Review: I found Michael Pollan's book to be quite informative and interesting. The strength of the book was the detailing of much of the modern food chain and our dependence on but a very few staple items, namely corn and soy, to supply a very high percentage of our caloric needs. The percentage of our... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto from Penguin Press HC, The Price: $13.17 Customer Review: Let me say that on its own this is a very good book. Pollan does a great job of talking about how much of the "science" behind the nutrition claims of journalists and doctors is basically bunk and often may do more harm than good. He then goes onto explain what parts of the Western Diet (processed... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $10.20 Customer Review: It is a rare science book that evokes such an emotional response in me. "Beak of the Finch" by Jonathan Weiner is one, and "The Botany of Desire" is another. Pollan's discussion of four archetypal plants (apple, tulip, marijuana and potato) and our shared history with them makes for some wonderfully... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Second Nature: A Gardener's Education from Grove Press Price: $10.20 Customer Review: That's not entirely fair, but...this is a book of essays, not a natural history or gardening book. It is about Pollan's perceptions of nature and landscape, through the gateway of his garden. He does only enough research to flesh out his musings with historical fact and literary reference - and he... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.	[no image]	The Botany of Desire - A Plant's-Eye View of the World from Random House Customer Review: The challenge faced by U.S. policy in Iraq is an indication of Kishore Mahbubani's assertion that you cannot export democracy into countries that are not ready for it. In his book "The New Asian Hemisphere" Mahbubani points to the limitations of Western leadership in such areas as free trade,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		A Place of My Own: The Architecture of Daydreams from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.88	Click here for more information


7.		A Place of My Own: The Education of an Amateur Builder from Delta Customer Review: If you want to see some photos of the author's place so as to get an idea of what he is talking about, don't look in here. There are no pictures in this book which makes it mostly useless.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn from Metropolis Books Price: $16.47 Customer Review: This book reads more like a book report, or maybe a master's thesis than a full-blown book. You can get through it in an hour or two, and although it is an interesting read, it's not something you'll turn to again and again. Honestly, I haven't thought about it since I read through it weeks ago.... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Food Fight: The Citizen's Guide to a Food and Farm Bill from University of California Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: No one goes to the grocery store thinking that the government legislates what they buy or eat. But in fact, the government plays an enormously influential role on what products and foods are grown and produced, as well as distributed in your local grocery. The legislation known as the Farm Bill... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.	[no image]	The Harper's Index Book from Henry Holt & Co Customer Review: HARPERS IS WITH OUT A DOUBT THE MOST INFORMATIVE MAGAZINE IN TERM'S OF LIFE, IN { " THE HUMAN SENCE " }, I CAN'T IMAGINE ANY OTHER MAGAZINE THAT CAN KEEP ONE'S EYE'S "GLUED" TO THE PAGE'ES , "IF THIS MAGAZINE EVER DECIDE'S TO GO INTERNET SUBSCRIPTION AS IN ACTUAL WEBSITE VEIW, THEN YOU BETTER HAVE... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

12.	[no image]	The Omnivore's Dilemma A Natural History of Four Meals from The Penguin Press Customer Review: This book is a major eye opener. You will learn the best reasons for eating grass fed meats and resorces to purchase them.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-eye View of the World from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Customer Review: A fascinating read. The Botany of Desire is quite possibly my favorite book. You'll find yourself quoting all kinds of interesting facts about the history of apples and never wanting to eat non-organic potatoes ever again. I constantly recommend this book to others, and I've yet to meet a person who... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		We Made a Garden (Modern Library Gardening) from Modern Library Price: $13.50 Customer Review: Margery Fish must have loved her Walter very, very much to have put up with him all those years. Her account of the garden they made despite each other is one of the great triumphs of the "garden memoir" genre, and vastly more interesting than most such works. The book is haunted by the presence... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Voices of the Land from Chelsea Green Publishing Company Customer Review: What does it mean to really know the land, or a wild space? The essays compiled and edited by Jamie Crelly Purinton for Voices Of The Land go well beyond commercial or economic values to consider the ecological and social meaning of land stewardship, from getting to know the underlying ecology of a... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Tulipa: A Photographer's Botanical Customer Review: In recent years, my approach to planting tulips and other small spring-flowering bulbs has been to dig down to the core ground underneath the raised bed I use for flowers, line the bed with composted cow manure laced with bone meal, and toss the bulbs in, letting them lie where they land. I usually... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Lifemaps: A Step-By-Step Method for Simplifying 101 of Life's Most Overwhelming Projects from Atria Customer Review: I didn't know what to expect when I bought this book but I was pleasantly surprised! It offers so much great advice for dealing with a variety of life's situations. The advice is simple & easy to read. There are so many topics covered, I liked the section on personal finance the most. Although... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
