WORLD MADE BY HAND
James Howard Kunstler's novel World Made By Hand places us a couple of decades into the future, when today's globalized high-energy techno-industrialism is gone, replaced by a hyper-local, low-energy, low-tech existence—an uninvited, unwanted change borne of natural limits, pandemic losses of life, and the general ineptitude of today's leaders. Weather or not you're a Peak Oiler, World Made By Hand is a good book to try—it shows just how much things would change in a world without global supply chains keeping stores stocked using just-it-time delivery systems.

101 Funny Things About Global Warming

book cover for 101 Funny Things About Global Warming, by Sidney Harris (and collegues), 12/26/2007 DESCRIPTION: The effects of global climate change are surely coming. But what are we supposed to do between now and when lower Manhattan is 13 feet below sea level? Well, acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist Sidney Harris and his cartoonist buddies suggest we have a few laughs about global warming and related issues. In 101 Funny Things About Global Warming, the funnies flow faster than the melt water on the Greenland ice sheet, taking on everything from unreliable Hybrid cars and pie-in-the-sky alternative energy sources to head-in-the-sand politicians and the existential crisis of our own biodegradable nature.

I Am America
(And So Can You!)

(by Stephen Colbert)

book cover for I Am America (And So Can You!), by Stephen Colbert, 10/9/2007 DESCRIPTION: Stephen Colbert spun his success at The Daily Show into his own half-hour laugh-fest, The Colbert Report, in which he brilliantly satirizes the blow-hard cable-news-talk format. Conservatives seem to like Colbert because he sounds conservative, with 'truthiness' in ample supply. Those on the left appear to love Colbert because hidden in the blustering blather is razor sharp humor that trashes the very opinions he appears to be spouting forth in earnest. With I Am America, Colbert puts rapier to paper, combining funny monologs with lists, illustrations, and charts to take on the tall task of fixing everything that's destroying America—and make us laugh all the while.
