The full list (in alphabetical order)īanker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the battle Against World Poverty, by Muhammad Yunus1999īiomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature, by Janine Benyus, 2003īlueprint for a Green Economy: by David Pearce, Anil Markandya and Edward B. Of course, there's always that debate about what you mean by the term "sustainability", but let us for the sake of argument say that in this instance it refers to books that make you think long and hard about how best to exist within a fragile biosphere blessed with finite resources. Where's Henry David Thoreau's Walden? Where's Thomas Friedman's Hot, Flat and Crowded? Where's Bill McKibben's The End of Nature?Īnd should fiction be allowed onto the list, too? How about Cormac McCarthy's The Road? Or Edward Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang?
There are many classics – Silent Spring, Fast Food Nation, The Limits to Growth, The Population Bomb, Small is Beautiful, A Sand County Almanac – but there are also a few omissions, too.
The result is a pretty comprehensive rundown of the most influential and thought-provoking books of all time.
