Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America
Thomas L. Friedman

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008

Thomas L. Friedman’s no. 1 bestseller The World Is Flat has helped millions of readers to see globalization in a new way. Now Friedman brings a fresh outlook to the crises of destabilizing climate change and rising competition for energy—both of which could poison our world if we do not act quickly and collectively. His argument speaks to all of us who are concerned about the state of America in the global future. Friedman ... 		  
  







  
  
America's Hidden History: Untold Tales of the First Pilgrims, Fighting Women, and Forgotten Founders Who ...9 reviews
Kenneth C. Davis

Collins, 2008

America's Hidden History
As person who needs to know history in order to fully understand this crazy world, I found Mr. Davis' book a great read! I was taken back to those times in way that I can understand why things turned out the way it did! He is one of the few historians that were able to show how people without money and position in the 18th century felt while the country was forming. He is the first ...

The Revolution: A Manifesto504 reviews
Ron Paul

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

A book from the man who should be the next President.
After the "Super Tuesday" results came in and I was disappointed with how Ron Paul did in those primaries, I reverted to my characteristic cynicism and bitterness with the political process and decided that I no longer had a desire to support ANY politician, regardless of political philosophy and legislative history. I removed Ron Paul from my page, left the "Veterans for Ron Paul" facebook ...

The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical115 reviews
Shane Claiborne

Zondervan, 2006

A Bold Resistance to the Status Quo
Shane "gets it," despite what some intelligent, well-meaning reviews/reviewers suggest. God is not something "out there" waiting to judge, condemn and/or save believers and cast into hell the non-believers. God is in our action. In our kneeling eye-level comfort of a child, in our compassion for others, in our empathy and tears and laughter and, most of all, in our selfless efforts toward the ... 		  
  







  
  
Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation379 reviews
Joseph J. Ellis

Vintage, 2002

A tasteful look into each of those fascinating men
In the afterglow of the HBO series on John Adams, I grew interested in some of the founding fathers, many of whom had seemed boring to me ever since I read their bios in grade school. Ellis does a highly intelligent and readable job of laying out the personalities, conflicts and battles of the whole group during the first years of the nation. I particularly like the chapter on the duel between ...

David McCullough

Great book!
I was surprised to know what really happened in 1776. It was a great year with many challenges. I enjoyed reading this book. 		  
  







  
  
V for Vendetta209 reviews
Alan Moore, David Lloyd

Vertigo, 1995

Freedom, Self-Rule, and the Government
The most interesting thing about "V for Vendetta" is that the main theme of the novel isn't actually one man standing up to Fascism, though that's an aspect of it. The more relevant political theme is Anarchism, though it's still only partly about that. The primary themes are about people; about people taking their freedom and the responsibility that goes along with it. The creeping Fascism of ... 		  
  







  
  
1776: The Illustrated Edition19 reviews
David McCullough

Simon & Schuster, 2007

best book ever written
1776 is the best book I have ever read, period. And it is non-fiction. I could not put it down. 		  
  







  
  
Everything Must Change: Jesus, Global Crises, and a Revolution of Hope35 reviews
Brian McLaren

Thomas Nelson, 2007

Jesus Right, not Jesus Lite
In "Everything Must Change", Brian McLaren eloquently expresses what I've felt about Jesus' message, and the manipulation of that message, since middle school. With historical research, political savvy, and personal experience, McLaren thoroughly documents the ways in which Christianity could lead the way out of war, hunger, poverty, and environmental decay. And how instead power uses biblical ... 		  
  







  
  
Benjamin Franklin: An American Life195 reviews
Walter Isaacson

Simon & Schuster, 2004

Wonderfully Written
Walter Isaacson writes history so that it reads like an excellent, exciting novel. This biography is a page-turner. Moreover, the author writes with subtle humor. Isaacson's research is accurate and extensive, which makes it even more amazing that the book does not have the format of a history textbook. This history of Benjamin Franklin is filled with stories of family feuds, ... 		  
  







  
  
Alexander Hamilton234 reviews
Ron Chernow

Penguin Press, 2004

A splendid rendition of Hamilton's life, accomplishments, and tribulations.
My interest in Hamilton originated when first seeing his portrait on the front of the ten dollar bill made an indelible impression on me as a young child. As Chernow describes in his book, Hamilton's portraits generally exude confidence, self-assurance, as well as omniscience, and these were the qualities that triggered my curiosity in this founding father. Reading Chernow's biography, I find ... 		  
  







  
  
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions114 reviews
Thomas S. Kuhn

University Of Chicago Press, 1996

Exciting, elevated, and encouraging (to would be researchers)
I read SSR as part of preparation to begin work on a paper and received a very different dose of smart than I expected. Kuhn has shown how meaningful, and I daresay fun, the prospect of a career as a researcher in any field could be. In this classic work he also guts a lot of intuitive thoughts on science, discovery, and broader knowledge itself - after a thorough reading you'll really see ... 		  
  







  
  
American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies at the Founding of the Republic53 reviews
Joseph J. Ellis

Knopf, 2007

The Continuing American Revolution
Together with the Civil War, the American Revolution continues to exert a great fascination for Americans. The historian Joseph Ellis has written many books making this period of our history accessible to lay readers. His most recent work "American Creation" is, in its scholarship and its lucidity, a thoughtful study of the founding of our nation. The founding of the United States, for Ellis, ...

Dr. Jennie Brand-Miller, Kaye Foster-Powell

Da Capo Press, 2007

An excellent companion to The 30 Day Diabetes Miracle!
I use this in conjunction with The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle: Lifestyle Center of America's Complete Program to Stop Diabetes, Restore Health,and Build Natural Vitality in order to sort out the glycemic index on many of the foods I prepare. It's helpful and easy-to-use. Once the 30 Day DM Cookbook is released, I'm sure it'll make recipes easier to understand. The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle ... 		  
  







  
  
Acrylic Revolution: New Tricks & Techniques for Working With the World's Most Versatile Medium44 reviews
Nancy Reyner

North Light Books, 2007

Paint spattered
Yes, that's right, this book is so much a part of what I do that it has paint spatters on the pages. And I think that's a real recommendation. This is not a book sitting pretty on my shelf, it's a living companion working with me in my daily art practice. How cool is that? Buy this book...
