I can't believe The Lorax" was ranked higher than A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold the book I call my "bible"! But, perhaps the message is getting out at a much younger age.

I also agree with Anna Brown that Tim Flannery's book "The Weather Maker" is an awesome book on global climate change.

Another good book is "The End of Nature" by Bill McKibben.

As a birder, I've witnessed a dramatic decline in bird populations just over the past 15 years and have dreaded the thought of reading A Silent Spring. It's already happening……..

Barbara Kingsolver's "Prodigal Summer" tops my list of books most influential environmental books. It is infinitely readable with its' beautiful prose, romance, and the weaving together of many human lives and the natural world. It made my heart ache for the loss of the American Chestnut in the Appalachian mountains.

Also, reading Nicholas Evans wonderful fiction in "The Loop" makes it impossible not to take up the cause of protecting the wolf population in the United States.

Definitely 'The Rising' by Tom Pollock and Jack Seybold- a gripping novel about global warming, catastrophe, and post-catastrophe survival. It interweaves real facts about melting ice sheets etc with a rich storyline. I cold not put this book down. It is both entertaining (though terrifying) and educational. For example, it taught me about the kinds of survival skills I would need to have in the event of a climate change disaster. Highly recommended.

I would like to nominate 'Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things' by: William McDonough, Michael Braungart

The basic premise is to engineer everything with the end of life of the product and the eventual next product designed from the start. The book itself is an example of this philosophy. The paper is not paper it is a plastic that is designed to be upcycled. That is reused to create a new book the inks are designed to be easily recovered and reused.
