The Omnivore's Dilemma - Michael Pollan
Of all the books I have recommend so far, you should read at least this one. Its probably available at nearly every public library (free!) or bookstore (not free).
Climate Coverup: The crusade to deny global warming - Hoggan & Littlemore
Interesting and good to know. No matter what your opinion of climate change is, it's impossible to ignore the facts presented.
Freakanomics: A rogue economist explores the hidden side of everything - Levitt & Dubner
Interesting non-technical book that covers some very eclectic economic issues.
Superfreakanomics: Global cooling, patriotic prostitutes, and why suicide bombers should buy life insurance - Levitt & Dubner
More of the same. Hard to put down. Politcally incorrect. Experiments with child-size crash test dummies and introducing money to monkey cultures.
Still reading:
Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution - Hawkin, Lovins, & Lovin
One of the most interesting books I've read in a long time. New ways to look at capitalism.
The Bridge at the Edge of the World: Capitalism, the environment, and crossing from crisis to sustainability - James Gustav Speth
Things that are bad about capitalism and theories about how it can be changed. Another interesting and informative book.
The Road - Cormac McCarthy
Wow! I'm about half way through this short novel about a father and son and their post-apocalyptic journey on The Road. Maybe not what you might think it is. Find out for yourself. Read it!
Still waiting to be read:
Progress and Poverty (edited and abridged version) - Henry George
Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy - Noam Chomsky
