Our second freebie for September 2010 is The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight by Thom Hartmann

back cover text: While everything appears to be collapsing around us–ecodamage, genetic engineering, virulent diseases, the end of cheap oil, water shortages, global famine, wars–we can still do something about it and create a world that will work for us and for our children’s children. The inspiration for Leonardo DiCaprio’s web movie Global Warning, The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight details what is happening to our planet, the reasons for our culture’s blind behavior, and how we can fix the problem. Thom Hartmann’s comprehensive book, originally published in 1998, has become one of the fundamental handbooks of the environmental activist movement. Now, with fresh, updated material and a focus on political activism and its effect on corporate behavior, The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight helps us understand–and heal–our relationship to the world, to each other, and to our natural resources.

“Must reading for anyone who expects to be around in the year 2040, when the last of the earth’s oil reserves will be exhausted–or whose descendants may witness that fateful event.” –David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World

“A wake-up call, loud and clear, that must literally be heard around the world.” –Daniel Quinn, author of Ishmael

Our first freebie for July 2010 is Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate History by Fawn M. Brodie

back cover text: With a novelist’s skill and a scholar’s meticulous detail, Fawn M. Brodie portrays Thomas Jefferson as he wrestled with issues of revolution, religion, power, race, and love–ambivalences that exerted a subtle but powerful influence on his political writing and his decision making. Brodie’s biography was the first to set forth a convincing case that Thomas Jefferson was the father of children born to his slave Sally Hemings–a case that has now been confirmed by DNA tests of their descendants.

“A powerful and touching portrait….Brodie has humanized Jefferson without in the least diminishing him.” — Wallace Stegner

“Brilliant, provocative….A biography no one interested in the man or his times should miss.” — Larry McMurty, Washington Post Book World
