  • The Lost Language of Plants: The Ecological Importance of Plant Medicine to Life on Earth, Chelsea Green Pub Co, March 2002, 1890132888
    This "Silent Spring" of pharmaceuticals details how we are polluting our environment with the toxic pharmaceuticals that we have been conditioned to use for illness while we lose touch with the plants that we traditionally depended on for healing. Buhner shows us that all realms and scales of life are intimately and inextricably interconnected and warns that it is urgent for us to recognize that we are one body with our environment and the planet.
• Diamond, Jared
  • Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, Norton, April 1999, 0393317552
    Jared Diamond explores the reasons behind the global dominance of Eurasian culture through a macroscopic reductionist review of human history. Jared proposes that varied development of material cultures is due to environmental and geographical factors rather than racial ones. The emergence of new social modalities and technologies is not the result of chance but rather the result determined by the environmental setting, including available plants and animals, climate and geography. With the trained vision of the evolutionary biologist, his essay brings together numerous disparate threads into an integrated story reviewing development on every continent since the ice age. reviews
