Silent Spring: by Rachel Carson
I first read Rachel Carson's landmark book, <b>Silent Spring</b>, about 15 years ago. I was especially interested as my brother-in-law was very involved with pesticides in his job. What I picked up to read as a reference and source of information surprisingly became one of the best books I had ever read - surely a great book, and one to consider if you've never read it.

Island Biogeography is not for Dodos
When most people look at animals they only see the animals — tigers, tortoises, hornbills, rhinos and so on. They never ask why an animal is the way it is or how it got that way; where it came from and what it is like. Few wonder why animals are where they are and why they're not where they're not. David Quammen does.
