Kick the Fossil Fuel Habit: 10 Clean Technologies to Save Our World,
by Tom Rand, 2010

The editors of Rand's beautifully illustrated work urge us to "imagine it's the year 2050 and your grandkids ask you, 'Tell us again what you did when the Earth was getting hot?' What are you going to tell them?"
Each chapter of the book explores one of the leading clean technologies and shows how it can "help save our world for future generations."



The Filter Bubble: What the internet Is Hiding from You, by Eli Pariser, 2011

"Eli Pariser is worried. He cares deeply about our common social sphere and sees it in jeopardy. His thorough investigation of Internet trends got me worried, too. He even taught me things about Facebook. It's a must-read."
-- David Kirkpatrick, author of The Facebook Effect
