The Good Life is not the goods life.

Post-Growth Living: For an Alternative Hedonism by Kate Soper

by 3 Comments

Kate Soper’s Post-Growth Living is split in two. It’s about environmentalism and true human flourishing. It’s about doing the right and also pragmatism. This isn’t a pie in the sky philosophy book – it looks at where we are right now and how we can change our thinking and therefore our action in order to build a more sustainable and happy future. In some ways this book could make more enemies than friends – Soper goes after our current cultural desire for more more more. […]

NOTE TO PUBLISHER: put all books out in one collection. Please and thank you.

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 […]

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 […]
