Sorry if I'm a bit overly political in my reading selections. I guess you can call me the "activist reader."
I am in the midst of reading "No Logo" from Naomi Klein. Definitely a must read if you like in-depth study of the out-sourcing of North American jobs, corporate branding, and details on the anti-globalization movement. I've found the study of Multi-national companies behavior in foreign countries to be particularly "enlightening." I am amazed that the civic values of fair wages/holiday pay/anti-discrimination so embraced in the US and Canada are so quickly abandoned by our corporations when they do business in other countries. Maybe our corporate presence is a vanguard to international hatred by other countries toward the US/Canada?
Just finished "The Survivor" about the Clinton presidency by John Harris. A very interesting and objective read (refreshingly, not particularly partisan) on a controversial topic.
Does anyone know how to locate some good ebooks on Peak Oil topics? I've looked at Palm and Mobipocket to no avail.
On that happy note...
Cheers,
Scott
