s a writer, I've always imagined having a little shop where I could share my favorite books with my readers, and now, with the magic of the Internet, here it is! 
An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

Losing Our Cool
It's time to rethink air conditioning
The first-ever book-length look at the consequences of air conditioning on our health and the environment. Learn how greenhouse emissions increased and ozone depletion skyrocketed once air conditioners became prevalent, and the tremendous amount of electricity we use to keep our bodies cool. Lots of suggestions are given for minimizing negative effects, including reducing indoor heat, using fans, utilizing cool roofs, and increasing vegetation. But this book really got me rethinking using air conditioning at all (and I live in hot and humid Florida). If you live and work half the year in air conditioned buildings, please read this book.
An Inconvenient Truth
In a very personal and readable way, former Vice President Al Gore shows all of us the scientific data that led him to make reversing global warming his personal crusade.
Pages are laid out with large type, photos and graphs, making everything easily understandable. At the end of the book, there is a comprehensive outline of what each of us can do in our own homes to reverse global warming. Take a look and see what you are already doing and what you still can do.
