 Walden Henry David Thoreau, Non-fiction "This is one of my favorite books. It helped remind me of the magnificence of our world, and jump-started my environmental activism. Plus it's Thoreau; who doesn't love Thoreau?" - Evan Sarkisian, Communication Team Silent Spring Rachel Carson, Non-fiction "This piece has inspired me throughout my involvement in the Solar Decathlon. The warnings she presents about pesticides give the issues the severity they deserve, without making them seem unsolvable." - Meghan Mooney, Communication Team The Lorax Dr. Seuss, Fiction "The most influential book ever written." - James Bickford, Project Manager Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit Al Gore, Non-fiction "Al Gore wrote this before An Inconvenient Truth came out, but it is still meaningful today. He gives well reasoned arguments for the adaptation of our environmental policies, and provides some insightful solutions." - Agustin Fonts, Engineering Team Cradle to Cradle William McDonough, Non-fiction "Just put it up. It's exactly what people interested in the Solar Decathlon would want to read. In fact, if the author had known about us, we'd be in it." - Meghan Mooney The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth E.O. Wilson, Non-fiction "A great book for anyone wanting to load up on powerful moral arguments to raise against their hard-headed friends." - Evan Sarkisian, Communications Team |
