Natural Capitalism – Paul Hawken and Amory and Hunter Lovins
Creating the next industrial revolution
Called “One giant leap for sustainability,” this book is “both a calls to arms and a revelation. The authors not only show how today’s industrialists and economists can change to work in harmony with the environment, they reveal how many of them already are doing so—and improving profitability in the process….This is radical stuff.” – Christian Science Monitor
Highly recommended!

How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude
An insider’s view of the Saudis and the Middle East as a whole from a former CIA operative, focused mainly on the oil economy and politics of Saudi Arabia. The facts it presents about the connections between the bin Ladens, Saudi princes, and the Bush family are alone worth the price.
