The following is a rather eclectic and broad-based list of books I have read that I highly recommend for educating yourself about the state of both our natural and built environments, as well as some reading that provides a bit of spiritual inspiration while trying to navigate this complicated and oftentimes frightening world. A couple of them (with asterisks) I have reviewed in SABMagazine, a Canadian sustainable building trade magazine. Enjoy!
