Hello George (and everyone else), These books have proven to be good medicine for getting through difficult times... "Grizzly Years" and "Walking it Off" by Douglas Peacock "Ecology of a Cracker Childhood" by Janisse Ray "Refuge" by Terry Tempest Williams

Although it's defined broadly enough to include all constituencies, it presents the opportunity to reach about 500 freshmen with a back-door campaign of environmental literacy. I am soliciting the ECOLOG group for suggestions for pre-college summer reading with an environmental theme. It would have to be something that would capture the minds of 17-18 year olds, and should lend itself to discussions that might allow diverse discipline to have a say. Barbara Kingsolver's "Prodigal Summer" or Michael Pollan's books came first to mind. But there must be other things out there that I've missed. Since this might be of interest to others, please respond to the list. GPK George P.
