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...

Impossible Will Take a Little While A Citizens Guide to Hope in a Time of Fear
by

I would call it "Chicken Soup for the Good Citizen's Soul." While some of the contributors are liberal, many are international heroes and writers and others of no particular political slant. It's simply a collection of inspirational writing that's good to have to turn to when life as an activist or concerned citizen gets difficult in the face of challenges or apparent apathy. This book reminds me that there are other working for positive change, and many have succeeded. Success can be helping one person or one nation, the important thing is to keep going, and keep hoping.

Discovery Of Global Warming
by
Spencer Weart

, January 18, 2007
I thoroughly enjoyed this fascinating look at the long, slow discovery of global warming. The style was engaging, and he made complex scientific research easy to understand for someone with no advanced science background, though a little bit of knowledge or interest in the field helps. I wish all skeptics would read this book! They would be convinced. However, the book is not preachy or biased; he simply provides an interesting narrative that expanded my knowledge of the scence behind global warming and the scientific process. Read this book! You will not be disappointed. I borrowed it from my local library first, and liked it enough to later buy it.
