.
An elegant tapestry of writings, poems, and observations which plumb
the depths of Ecological Philosophy. 
.
Science of the atmosphere from Aristotle to Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen.
Why over the last two centuries air has transformed from something marvelous
into something menacing. Sherman blends the history and myths of air,
together with its environmental and physiological effects, into a rich
and sometimes troubling account of what gives us our life force. 
.
Tells the story of the Solectria Corporation's efforts to develop and
market an electric car. Scientists and engineers work to do something
for the environment while trying to grab a piece of a very small niche
market. Also a critique of the "Big 3" automakers. 
.
A step-by-step account of the progress of Saturn Corporation (a General
Motors division) from its inception through the company's first two
years of car production. 
.
Presents a surprising new business principle: By applying strategies
and practices gleaned from nature, by emulating what it once sought
to conquer, big business can attain greater and more sustainable profits.
.
An in-depth look at the contaminants in foods. Steinman also tells his
own story of fishing in the Santa Monica Bay as a child and how he went
on to testify before Congress as an expert witness on the contamination
of his own body by the fish he ate. 
.
Draws the connection between personal health and a healthy environment
and argues both that global warming is a greater threat to national
security than terrorism and that a "sound environmental policy"
will enhance our standing in the world and strengthen our economy. 
.
Takes us inside the world of hybridizers, geneticists, farmers, and
florists around the world who have worked to invent, manufacture, and
sell flowers that are bigger, brighter, and sturdier than anything nature
could provide. What has been gained and what has been lost in tinkering
with Mother Nature? Should we care that some roses have lost their scent?
Or that most flowers are sprayed with pesticides? 
.
A chronicle of the seedlings and weeds, cats and compost, worms and
watering that transform a tiny plot of earth into a glorious garden.
From planting the seeds her great-grandmother sends to battling snails,
gophers, and aphids, Stewart takes us on a tour of her coastal garden
and shares the lessons she's learned the hard way. 
.
A hard look at the health, environmental, and national security costs
hidden in every barrel of oil. While the petroleum industry is raking
in huge profits, it is studiously avoiding measures that would lessen
the hazards of its products. Using the successful lawsuits by state
governments against big tobacco as a model, the author sets forth a
bold strategy to hold oil and auto companies accountable and force industry
reform. He also offers a blueprint for developing alternative energy
sources based on California's real world experiences. 
.
Details all aspects of running diesel engines on vegetable oil. Includes
information on biodiesel, the diesel fuel substitute made from new or
used vegetable oil, as well as information on running any diesel engine
on straight vegetable oil. Packed with history, information, instructions,
photos, diagrams and resources. 
.
Provides a fresh perspective on our oil-laden history (why America is
more dependent on oil than any other nation), our present position of
energy compromise, and the true potential for a fossil-fuel-free future.
Shows that an abundance of available, economically viable, and profitable
energy solutions exists. 
.
Through the use of nine eco-nomic principles, the objectives of economic
development and environmental protection are melded into a practical,
cohesive platform for government officials, businesspersons, environmentalists,
citizen activists and for the students of resource management and environmental
policy.
