| 1. |  | The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals from Penguin Price: $9.35 Customer Review:  This book is a life changer. A must read for every American, in my opinion. |

| 2. |  | In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto from Penguin Press HC, The Price: $13.75 Customer Review:  I have read a handful of books about food and diet. I may not be the target for this book. I'm skinny and eat mostly non-meat food anyways. It is an interesting book, but I actually found myself zoning out, skipping paragraphs, then pages, then a whole section at the beginning. I already think... |

| 3. |  | The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $10.20 Customer Review: It is a rare science book that evokes such an emotional response in me. "Beak of the Finch" by Jonathan Weiner is one, and "The Botany of Desire" is another. Pollan's discussion of four archetypal plants (apple, tulip, marijuana and potato) and our shared history with them makes for some wonderfully... |

| 4. |  | Second Nature: A Gardener's Education from Grove Press Price: $10.20 Customer Review: As has been the case with all of Michael Pollan's books that I have read, he informs with humor and narrative that at times makes me laugh out loud. My all time favorite, however, is Omnivore's Dilemma. I have changed the way I shop in our local market since reading it. This also is a MUST read. |

| 5. |  | A Place of My Own: The Architecture of Daydreams from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.88 Customer Review: I'm so glad this book is once again readily available; I keep wanting to give it to friends and it had become hard to find. Pollan undertook the project of building himself a modest shelter, and used that as a jumping-off place to consider--always entertainingly--a dazzling array of related... |

| 6. | [no image] | The Botany of Desire - A Plant's-Eye View of the World from Random House Customer Review:  The challenge faced by U.S. policy in Iraq is an indication of Kishore Mahbubani's assertion that you cannot export democracy into countries that are not ready for it. In his book "The New Asian Hemisphere" Mahbubani points to the limitations of Western leadership in such areas as free trade,... |

| 7. |  | Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn from Metropolis Books Price: $16.47 Customer Review:  This book reads more like a book report, or maybe a master's thesis than a full-blown book. You can get through it in an hour or two, and although it is an interesting read, it's not something you'll turn to again and again. Honestly, I haven't thought about it since I read through it weeks ago.... |

| 8. |  | Food Fight: The Citizen's Guide to a Food and Farm Bill from University of California Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: No one goes to the grocery store thinking that the government legislates what they buy or eat. But in fact, the government plays an enormously influential role on what products and foods are grown and produced, as well as distributed in your local grocery. The legislation known as the Farm Bill... |

| 9. |  | A Place of My Own: The Education of an Amateur Builder from Delta Customer Review: If you want to see some photos of the author's place so as to get an idea of what he is talking about, don't look in here. There are no pictures in this book which makes it mostly useless. |

| 11. | [no image] | The Omnivore's Dilemma A Natural History of Four Meals from The Penguin Press Customer Review: This book is a major eye opener. You will learn the best reasons for eating grass fed meats and resorces to purchase them. |

| 12. |  | Voices of the Land from Chelsea Green Publishing Company Customer Review: What does it mean to really know the land, or a wild space? The essays compiled and edited by Jamie Crelly Purinton for Voices Of The Land go well beyond commercial or economic values to consider the ecological and social meaning of land stewardship, from getting to know the underlying ecology of a... |

| 13. |  | We Made a Garden (Modern Library Gardening) from Modern Library Price: $15.00 Customer Review: Margery Fish must have loved her Walter very, very much to have put up with him all those years. Her account of the garden they made despite each other is one of the great triumphs of the "garden memoir" genre, and vastly more interesting than most such works. The book is haunted by the presence... |

| 15. |  | Tulipa: A Photographer's Botanical Customer Review: In recent years, my approach to planting tulips and other small spring-flowering bulbs has been to dig down to the core ground underneath the raised bed I use for flowers, line the bed with composted cow manure laced with bone meal, and toss the bulbs in, letting them lie where they land. I usually... |

| 16. |  | Lifemaps: A Step-By-Step Method for Simplifying 101 of Life's Most Overwhelming Projects from Atria Customer Review: I didn't know what to expect when I bought this book but I was pleasantly surprised! It offers so much great advice for dealing with a variety of life's situations. The advice is simple & easy to read. There are so many topics covered, I liked the section on personal finance the most. Although... |

| 19. |  | The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-eye View of the World from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Customer Review: A fascinating read. The Botany of Desire is quite possibly my favorite book. You'll find yourself quoting all kinds of interesting facts about the history of apples and never wanting to eat non-organic potatoes ever again. I constantly recommend this book to others, and I've yet to meet a person who... |
