Salt: A World History
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

This book earned me the UberDork rating from anyone I told about it, but they are the ones who missed out. The writing is clear and makes for fun snippet reading. (Got 10 minutes? Pick it up!) The useless but fun facts mentioned by another reviewer are a big part of what kept me reading, but I have... more info

Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water, Revised Edition
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:

This was a return engagement to "Cadillac Desert", as I had read the original in the 1980s, amazed at the time, considering it a premier example of thorough history and analysis in a subject about which few people knew much at all. What could have been a "dry" subject was actually quite gripping and... more info

from DK ADULT
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:

I'm a new beader, and while this is a beautiful book, many of the stones I buy are not listed when I look them up in the color-code index. My hopes were that when I forgot what the stone was called, or wanted more info to tell my customers, I could find it. There are so many color variations and so... more info

Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century
from Abrams
Price: $11.97

Customer Review:

A nonsensical belief that we can solve the environmental crisis by avoiding self change. Never in our history have their been a more deluded and narcissistic generation clambering to take the helm. We're in serious trouble.
