* Fighting Traffic (The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City) by Peter D. Norton
_
Review - Before automobiles filled the streets, children and pedestrians ruled; however, by 1930 all that had changed. The streets became a place where children did not belong, and where pedestrians were considered "jaywalkers." To accommodate this hostile takeover, America had to undergo a difficult social change, a struggle which makes up the heart of this unique history. This book is extremely well researched and beautifully written. I must note that I am a somewhat biased reader since I actually went to high school with the author, Peter Norton (now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Science, Technology, and Society at the University of Virginia). That being said, I learned a lot from this book, and now I view traffic lights and pedestrians with new-found awareness.

* A New Earth (Awaking Your Life's Purpose) by Eckhart Tolle
_
Review - When I reached the last page of this book I turned to page one and read it once more. To say that this book made an impact on me is an understatement. It is beautifully written and profound in it's life changing insight. Tolle conveys a simple yet profound message that awakens the flowering consciousness of "being".

* The Queen Of Fats ( Why Omega - 3s Were Removed From The Western Diet And What We Can Do To Replace Them) by Susan Allport
Review - This was pretty heavy reading - very scientific. I learned a lot and while I found Chapter 12 - Putting Omega - 3's Back Into Your Food Supply - very helpful... I can't say that I would recommend the book entirely. Most of this information is readily available on the internet. That said - I was glad for the extra scientific and historical info.
