Great book list; will look into those for my hols! Also check out our book page for lots of books relating to energy saving and much more – not necessarily sun lounger reads but lots of useful information – http://www.uk-energy-saving.com/energy_saving_books.html
Walden is a favorite, and hard to beat. Treehugger has a great thread going in their forum that addresses this very topic. Thanks for the reminder on these!
Thanks for the list. Being in the southern hemisphere it will actually be my winter list though!
good list, i’d add This Organic Life, Joan Dye Pussow and Small Wonder by Barbara Kingsolver.
thanks
