David has created a NEW section of The Guide to Self-Help Books!

It’s called SAVING THE EARTH, and it contains fifteen all-new sections of recommended books that are chock-full of up-to-date information about all aspects of caring for this Earth that is our home.

The Earth is an enormous interconnected web of living things, a biosphere where the forces of climate, weather, ocean currents and other natural processes ensure that every intervention within this system affects, in some way, the entire system.

We are planetary citizens. We can no longer ignore the impact of our actions. There are too many of us to continue to pretend that the Earth’s resources are infinite.

In SAVING THE EARTH, you’ll find sections on Global Warming, Conservation, Ecology and Biodiversity. This is the Big Picture – these books clarify the facts of our current planetary situation, and point the way to realistic, scientifically-based solutions.

In the Sustainable Agriculture, Water Resources , and Renewable Energy sections are selected books that explain how to manage our natural resources in a sustainable way, so that everyone on the planet has all the resources needed for healthy living – in perpetuity.

Recommended books in the Green Building and Sustainable Design section focuses on the challenge of rethinking how we do – everything!  The weight of human activity lies heavily on the planet, and many smart people are working hard to develop ways to feed, clothe, entertain and house ourselves that are more attuned to the finite limits of our resources.

Nature Writing offers many classic and award-winning books that describe the wondrous variety of nature in all its many forms. Here you will find books from Nobel prize-winning authors, as well as books that have won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the John Burroughs Medal for Natural History. These exemplary books are the best of nature writing!

The books chosen for the People and the Land and Population Growth sections examine the challenges resulting from the burgeoning population of the Earth, as well as the human impacts on the planet, historically and into the present day. These books describe promising approaches to dealing with these challenges.

Cultural Survival of Indigenous Peoples presents books that elucidate the immediate challenges facing many indigenous peoples world-wide that face extinction; their culture, art and languages on the verge of disappearing forever.

Finally, the Ecopsychology and Nature Spirituality sections contain recommended books that offer perspectives on the experience and meaning of living among Nature on this planet Earth.
