It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Fire Season Field Notes from a Wilderness Lookout
by
Philip Connors
Urchina
, January 19, 2012
In this lyrical and compelling book, Connors discusses life as a Forest Service wildnerness area lookout, one of the few remaining from what used to be a large company of individuals who spent entire summers on top of remote mountains looking for wisps of smoke. The book has plenty about fire and wildnerness, as one would expect, but also covers topics such as marriage, bartending, and friendship with observant and clear language. It's a charming book and one I'd recommend for outdoorsy types as well as introverts.

Checklist Manifesto How to Get Things Right
by
Atul Gawande
Urchina
, September 20, 2011
A riveting book about a seemingly-utilitarian subject. Atul Gawande brings insight, a practical viewpoint, and fearless introspection to a topic that saves lives, saves time, saves money and has wide applicability. He makes a compelling case that checklists should have a larger presence in our lives, and that a well-designed checklist is a thing of beauty. It sounds plain and boring, but this book is anything but.
