Super Sons V02 The Foxglove Mission by Ridley Pearson

by Leave a Comment

The Super Sons series should be read back-to-back as it had been at least a year since reading book one (The Polarshield Project) and I had forgotten the action/plot of the book. This made reading book two, The Foxglove Mission, awkward to say the least. Book two of Ridley Pearson’s graphic novel series is obviously the “middle book.” There is the buildup, some action, but in the end, you know it is the diving board for you to jump into book three. It is not […]

A nice little gem in the waste reduction arena

Waste Not by Erin Rhoads

by Leave a Comment

‘Make a big difference by throwing away less’ is the premise of this book on how to reduce waste in all aspects of your life. One of the things I liked best about it is that the author starts off by openly admitting she used to do the complete opposite, buying into the ‘more more more’ consumer lifestyle, and has had to figure out low waste strategies along the way. The book is set out in three sections – Tools, Tips and Tricks. The Tools […]

Buggies are cool

Bugs in Danger: Our Vanishing Bees, Butterflies, and Beetles by Mark Kurlansky

by 2 Comments

Bugs in Danger: Our Vanishing Bees, Butterflies, and Beetles by Mark Kurlansky is this years Something Rotten: A Fresh Look at Roadkill by Heather L. Montgomery for me. This is not because it has a similar theme nor is nearly as humorous as Montgomery’s book. But it does take a subject (bugs) that I have no interest in and made it interesting. I think buggies are cool, but I had no real interests in learning about them. But I liked the book cover. I figured I […]

Let Your Life Be a Counter Friction to Stop the Machine

This is Not a Drill: An Extinction Rebellion Handbook by Extinction Rebellion

Welcome to the Anthropocene era, the fossil fuel-powered nightmare of our own making. Our hot and crowded planet has hit Defcon 3. Right now, a record number of fires is burning down the Brazilian rainforest, threatening three million endemic plant and animal species. Mass bleaching in the heat-stressed Great Barrier Reef has reduced baby coral by 89% since 2016. Okjökull is the first (but not the last) glacier to disappear from Iceland. Last month Paris hit 109º, the hottest temperature ever recorded in the city, […]
