Books relevant to Living Lightly on the Earth
"Don't it always seem to go that we don't know what we've got till it's gone;
they pave paradise and put up a parking lot..." Joni Mitchell
All of these books are as easily gotten from your
closest library branch as from a bookstore. If you
want to support the
author financially, send a check to the author in care of the publishing company involved. Even a small check will benefit the author
much more than the tiny percentage he or she receives from a book
sale.
Meanwhile, you'll be saving a tree and reading a copy that will be shared
with many like-minded people. Such a deal...
