Good green reading

Voting is open for the Orion Readers’ Choice Award 4

Read a good green-themed book lately? The editors of Orion have, and in advance of their award of the annual Orion Book Award next month, for an outstanding book exploring the interaction of people and the natural world, they've just posted all the nominated books here for voting in a "people's choice" contest.

From The World Without Us to Blessed Unrest, it's an impressive list that makes me realize how many books I want to crack open. But after looking them over, I did at least take the time to vote for my own favorite of 2007. Hope you will, too.

    peak oil etcRichard Heinberg's new book is called "Peak Everything: waking up to a century of declines" and is one I'd recommend. He's been on the peak oil topic for a while, but this book takes that and other baselines which society is likely to exceed to a new level.
