A Life Changing Book
This book is life altering! It is hands down the best book I have ever read on how to get out of the daily grind and do something with your life. What's more amazing is that Joe & Vicki had this wisdom decades ago and it is still applicable today. It was thrilling ...

The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy: Achieving Energy Independence through Solar, Wind, Biomass and ...

Dan Chiras

New Society Publishers, 2006

Good review to renewable energy
I found this book to be more satisfying that the author's more popular book, "The Solar House". Of course, they aren't functional substitutes for each other. This book goes deeper into renewable energy systems available to address the energy needs of residential ...

Gail Boushey, Joan Moser

Stenhouse Publishers, 2006

the daily 5; fostering literacy independent in the elementary grades
WOW!!!...is all I can say. I am on my 14th day of "training." I can see a lot of pride in my students. THEY take the ownership of their learning with this fantastic program. I have found that I do, indeed, spend much less time maintaining those students that I am NOT ...

The Complete Tightwad Gazette

Amy Dacyczyn

Villard, 1998

Applicable even now
Written from 1990-1996, this complete Tightwad Gazette is a little dated in some areas. I laughed when she talks about saving money on encyclopedia sets, or writing off to a company to get more info. LOL. The internet has truly changed how we do things. However dated, ...

John Adams

David McCullough

Simon & Schuster, 2008

John Adams book review
John Adams was one of the most pivotal characters and longest lived of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. But what makes this book possible is the immense volume of letters he wrote though out his life time... letters to friends, family, co-conspirators, ...

Victory through ingenuity

Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments With Truth

Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi, Mahadev H. Desai

Beacon Press, 1993

A life changing book
This is easily the most powerful book I have ever read. Gandhi does a great job of telling the story in his life in such a way that not only tells a story, but teaches lessons that go along with it. The title explains a lot, considering that Gandhi considered his ...

The Gusher of Lies
The Gusher of Lies by Robert Bryce is a voice of reason amid an abundance of ignorance, anxiety and political rants. With each passing day it is becoming obvious to more Americans that we must demand a common sense energy plan. He debunks the lies, gives clarity of ...

Awesome book!
Helpful and informative. Easy to understand diagrams and explanations in plain English (i.e. you don't have to be ultra-tech-savvy to understand it).

Five Acres and Independence

Maurice G. Kains

Dover Publications

Classic
I've owned this book for over 30 years. I had a copy, loaned it out, didn't get it back, and bought another. It is essentially a compendium of articles. Though some are dated, most have at least one piece of useful information for those wishing to try pre-chemical ...

The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America

Cato Institute, 2000

Great pocket sized copy of America's great documents
These words have inspired not one nation, but many. Carry them with you. This publication is about the size of a wallet with a durable bind. I could do without the Cato Institute's preface, but its only a page, and otherwise the text is very aesthetically put together.

One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey

Sam Keith, Richard Proenneke

Alaska Northwest Books, 2003

One Man's Wilderness
This book is written "by Sam Keith from the journals and photographs of Richard Proenneke" - so although I read it and visualized the events within as if it had all been written by Richard Proenneke, it wasn't. Sam Keith tells us in the preface: "Using Dick Proenneke's ...

Extremely well-written recent history that makes you sad and mad
In only 688 pages Martin Meredith succeeds in capturing the recent history of more or less the whole of (sub-Saharan) Africa, throwing in a few countries above the Sahara for good measure. After a brief introduction, he starts off at independence of most countries, and ...
