Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. 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...

Post Carbon Reader
by
Richard Heinberg
Susanne
, September 18, 2011
An excellent reader with specific recommendations on how to be "resilient," both personally and communally, in the coming post-carbon years. Changed my thinking on our casual use of the word "sustainability." In addition to the chapters on fuel, water, and food, there is study of social sustainability, something I had never considered. Really thought-provoking work here.

A very powerful and thoughtful exploration of what living off the grid in America really means the emotions it provokes.

On A Dollar A Day
by
Christop Greenslate
Susanne
, March 04, 2010
While vaguely aware of all the privileges we have as Americans, this book spotlights the various levels of food accessibility we have within the US, and how that compares with the rest of the world. It is not a "how-to" eat on $1 a day, as much as a how-to eat well, without wasting food. It's a really well written book and I learned more than I thought I would! They are very honest about the tolls of eating on a $1 a day!

Drawing Closer to Nature Making Art in Dialogue with the Natural World
by
Peter London
Susanne
, January 09, 2009
This book isn't what I thought it was! It sat on my bookshelf for a long time and recently I picked it up and started reading. It is a fantastic journey about art and becoming real and listening to nature. It is like a meditation, pure inspiration!

This Year I Will How to Finally Change a Habit Keep a Resolution or Make a Dream Come True
by
Ryan, M. J.
Susanne
, December 31, 2008
At this time of my life, "This Year I Will..." has become a manual for me. I read through the whole book first, then committed to a change. Now I re-read a chapter every evening to keep me on track. It gives encouragement, but mostly this book gives ways to be true to your desire for change,whatever that change may be. It's an intelligent read, very well written!
