So, spent some time this weekend watching Blue Planet on the Discovery Channel. Always interesting catching a nature show. And just plain damn cool.

In any event I've been reading a lot of environmental stuff lately. Some interesting, others not so much. I wanted to link you to some of the titles in varying degrees of interest and readability.

First off is The World Tomorrow. Not so much a call to arms but a pictoral of what could happen to the Earth under various conditions.

Even more interesting is Alan Weisman's The World Without Us, an imagining of what the world would be like if we just up and disappeared. I saw him on the Daily Show recently and picked up the book this weekend. Highly interesting and thought provoking. I recommend you give it a shot.

A lot drier of a read but chock full o' information is the Little Green Handbook. Since it is a bit harder to read I haven't gotten too far into it but I'll keep plugging away at it.
