"Brilliantly researched, ably argued . . . Resource Wars shows a new geography of conflict based on looming scarcities. Klare's analysis is indisputable."—David Rieff, Los Angeles Times Book Review

"A steady poli-sci elaboration of U.S. foreign policy of the past 60 years as viewed through the lens of oil . . . [Blood and Oil] is elaborately sourced [and] dismayingly convincing."—Lisa Margonelli, San Francisco Chronicle

"Covering the period of late 1999 to 2002, the book collects Klein's in-the-trenches journalism about sweatshops, genetically modified foods, evolving police tactics for crowd control and more . . . Klein argues that globalization has only delivered its promised benefits to the world's wealthiest citizens and that its emphasis on privatization has eroded the availability of public services around the globe. Critics have suggested that the 'anti-globalization' movement (a term loathed, Klein notes, by many people actually involved) lacks a cohesive structure, but Klein generally sees this decentralization as a strength, likening the small groups' 'hub and spoke' organization to that of linked Web sites . . . Despite post-September 11 talk to the contrary, these dispatches indicate that the movement is far from over."—Publishers Weekly

"This book will raise screams from what we pretend to be the 'farmer community,' but those screams will be from corporate welfare recipients, not real gardeners and farmers. Manning's indictment is so well researched, provocative, and damning that it makes us feel moral conflict every time we place a processed food product in our mouths. This conflictedness can only improve our health and lives."—David James Duncan, author of The Brothers K

"Our planet is alive and the wondrous web of biodiversity provides us with all we need—clean air, water, soil, and energy, as well as food, medicine, resources. Whatever we do, that's what should be the highest priority for protection and we have to adapt everything else to that end. With this book, McDonough and Braungart open our eyes to the way to genuine sustainability by the study of nature and mimicking her ways. This is a groundbreaking book that should be the Bible for the Second Industrial Revolution."—Dr. David Suzuki, Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia, and author of Good News for a Change: Hope for a Troubled Planet and The Sacred Balance: Rediscovering Our Place in Nature

"In this wise, well-researched, and important book, Bill McKibben addresses the burning philosophical question of the new century, and the one that counts for the long haul: how to control the technoscientific juggernaut before it dehumanizes our species."—E. O. Wilson, author of The Future of Life

"The Whale and the Supercomputer skillfully melds two very different worlds: the whaling culture of northern Alaska's Iñupiaq, and the at-times equally mysterious culture and methods of the scientific community. Along the way, he delivers many salient points about real-world impacts of global warming, which is clobbering northern latitudes first and hardest."—Robert Krier, The San Diego Union-Tribune
