Just finished a book which I think some of you have probably read

[Adsos Letter]

and I found it a very interesting read; I'm curious as to how many others here have read it.

Something New Under the Sun: An Environmental History of the Twentieth-Century World John Robert McNeill (Author), Paul Kennedy (Author) " (Global Century Series)

Apologies in advance if this work is so popular/influential that my question is of the "duh" type; my focus in reading is primarily History, and I came across this while going through a reading list for a history class on "20th-Century World."

1. Wanted to ask you..

didn't you request some book suggestions from us awhile back?
If that was you, did you get some good titles?

[Adsos Letter]

3. That was me, and those who responded did give some good titles

but only a couple of people responded.

2. Haven't read, but it looks good

With events being what they are...

4. It really focused my thinking

about the ecological significance of the 20th-century.

5. I'm currently reading...

"Why your world is about to get a whole lot smaller" by Jeff Rubin.

An interesting economic analysis that predicts that rising oil prices will put a break on globalization.

Thanks for the suggestion!

6. I'm reading Frank Schatzing's "The Swarm". Sci fi - ocean gets angry and strikes back, lol.

Excellent read, scary, 800 pages.

7. I'll second that!

It was an excellent read (but better for a hotel/trip than for a commute
as it's not a physically light book!).
