[Click on each cover image to view that item in the catalog and to place a hold.]


Confessions of an Economic Hit ManConfessions of an Economic Hit Man, by John Perkins
This is a real page-turner-- an absolutely fascinating expose that reads like a gripping novel. It’s disturbing, informative, timely, and true.






In Defense of FoodIn Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto, by Michael Pollan
An excellent reminder of what “real food” is and what food used to be, before processing, packaging, and the media. It’s an educational eye-opening experience, regardless of one’s dietary preference.





10 Questions for the Dalai Lama10 Questions for the Dalai Lama: One Man’s Journey through The Northern Himalayas (DVD)
A beautiful and poignant way to have an audience with the Dalai Lama, in your own home. “If you only had one hour, what would you ask?”

I am so glad these books have been highlighted by the blogger, Thalia. For me too they were rewarding, if not shocking - in the case of Cofessions of an Economic Hit Man- must read.
