Six degrees : our future on a hotter planet
Mark Lynas.
Check Availability
335 p. ; 24 cm.
"By the end of this century, the planet will heat up between 1.4[degree] and 5.8[degree] Celsius, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Six degrees may not sound like much, but as this sobering, engrossing, up-to-the-minute books warns, a six-degree rise in Earth's average temperature would be enough to reshape our world almost beyond recognition." "Degree by degree, chapter by chapter, Mark Lynas explains the processes and examines the effects of this unprecedented phenomenon, drawing on a full range of state-of-the-art research and sophisticated computer models that show conclusively that today's climate change is a new and different challenge, not a routine swing of a slow and climatic pendulum."--BOOK JACKET.

Steal this book
by Abbie Hoffman ; co-conspirator, Izak Haber ; accessor after the fact,Bert Cohen.
Check Availability
352 p. : ill. ; 21 cm.
Abbie Hoffman, the most influential sixties humorist/activist/provocateur/yippie/ Pentagon levitator, finished this book in 1970 from the Cook County Jail. It was turned down by 30 publishers, including one who thought it a threat to free speech. Mr. Hoffman reminds us that in "Amerika" [sic], "If we internalize the language and imagery of the pigs, we will forever be fucked," and that "Amerika was built on the slaughter of a people." Provides helpful instructions on stealing and procuring free food and clothing, starting co-ops, and stirring up the media. Features an appendix of organizations serving the people, and a bibliography of other books worth stealing. The reprint of this classic sixties document might remind US instructors to adopt it for class or, at least to place it on a suggested bibliography.

A summer of hummingbirds : love, art, and scandal in the intersecting worlds of Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Martin Johnson Meade
Christopher Benfey.
Check Availability
xv, 287 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
A surprising and scandalous story of how the interaction within a group of exceptional and uniquely talented characters shaped and changed American thought at the close of the Civil War. Benfey takes the seemingly arbitrary image of the hummingbird and traces its "route of evanescence" as it travels in circles to and from the creative wellsprings of the age: from the naturalist writings of abolitionist Thomas Wentworth Higginson to the poems of his wayward pupil Emily Dickinson; into the mind of Henry Ward Beecher and within the writings and paintings of his famous sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe. A Summer of Hummingbirds unveils how, through the art of these great thinkers, the hummingbird became the symbol of an era, an image through which they could explore their controversial (and often contradictory) ideas of nature, religion, sexuality, family, time, exoticism, and beauty.--From amazon.com.
