BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
I've found these interesting -
Alvarez, Walter, T. rex and the Crater of Doom.
Vintage Books, Princeton University Press, 1998 (paperback - 185 pp.). Los Angeles Times
Book Review states "A high drama of discovery - a wonderful adventure in
science." Geologists seek an answer to puzzling observations at the K-T boundary - an
answer is found in some geophysical data. Written for the generally well-educated person,
you need not know a lot of geology to enjoy this thriller.
No gory violence or sex.
Reader, John, Man on Earth - A Celebration of Mankind. Perennial Library, Harper & Roe, 1990 (paperback - 256 pp.). "Portraits of Human Culture in a Multitude of Environments." If you wonder why folks overseas do not solve their problems by adopting our technology and ethical values, this book explains a lot.
Hargrove, Eugene C., Foundations of Environmental Ethics. Prentice Hall, 1989 (paperback, 229 pp.). I am certain some professors in philosophy departments use this as a text. Not as entertaining as either book listed above, but thought-provoking. What is our ethical and legal basis for land ownership?
