Interviewing Inuit Elders: Child-rearing Practices by Naqi Ekho and Uqsuralik Ottokie
This is the most fascinating book! An interview about how things used to happen with birth, aging, being a child and the ways people were raised. The way it is written feels as if Naqi and Uqsuralik are talking to you! I am using this as a resource for my paper and I discovered that you can access the whole book on this website!Here is a .pdf of the book +it has pictures. I hope that link works. :P

Tracking Trash: Flotsam, Jetsam and the Science of Ocean motion by Loree Burns
I am writing a HUGE research paper on garbage (mainly plastics), so this kids book was light reading. Super informative, though and quite sciency for all those non-scientists who wants to learn about cool stuff.
It also talks about the Pacific Garbage Patch and Beach Debris –Cool stuff!

Words that come before All Else by Haudenosaunee Environmental Task Force
This book is beautifully written and an insightful look into the way the Haudenosaunee look at Creation. I was asked to read this for one of my classes, and it has opened my mind to a completely different way of seeing the Earth and all life that is on it.
After reading the .pdf I decided that I had to support the writers and buy the book. <- if you click that link, you can read a preview or buy it yourself. I had no problem spending $26 CA (after S&H) to support HETF.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
GOOD BOOK! Read it! It is messed up. Begs its readers to ask questions like:
– What does it mean to be human?
– Would you like to live in the Brave New World?
– Are we moving towards living in a Brave New world?
– Is it better to be conditioned or to think freely?
Also, someone please explain to me HOW DOES THE BOOK END??! (without giving away too much, I was very confused)
OUCH! Right in the feminist.
