Environmental reading

August
7

Everyone has some reading suggestions for the summer, or so it seems.

The Riverkeeper, an environmental organization dedicated to protecting the ecology of the Hudson River and the New York City watershed, has put together some “must reads” from its staff members.  So if you need some help finding some non-fiction titles about protecting our local landscape and global warming this list might be for you. The first selection is Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring.” Written more than 45 years ago, it has become  a classic for anyone concerned about our environment.

Check out all of the  Riverkeeper’s choices.

    What an interesting way to get people interested in reading! Book trailers are like movie trailers, but for books! You can find them all over the internet now, but here is a site that’s featuring them on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/booktrailers

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
