Dear Farid: Please pick another book. “An Inconvenient Truth” (the book) does not include enough text to warrant it being read as a book.

Heyy Dr . I’m a student in your biol 207 class and i need your help in choosing a book. ”Blink” is it a book related to what we should read? If not please help me finding a book that is somehow related to human spirits and kind of philosophy if possible. Thank You.

Hi Doctor Rania…
I told you in class that i was interested in the book about the dust but looking at the shelfari reviews I was more interested in a book called “Blessed Unrest” could i please borrow that book?
Thanks!
By: Stephanie Yacoub [BIOL207] on October 31, 2011
at 3:12 pm
Hi Doctor,
Since it isn’t possible to read “Blessed Unrest” could I please borrow one of the three following books? I guess just choose which one is easiest for you to reach or which one you personally like more…
- “Beyond Slash, Burn and Poison: Transforming Breast Cancer Stories into Action” by Marcy Jane Knopf Newman
- “The Green Belt Movement: Sharing the Approach and the Experience” by Wangari Maathai
- “A Language Older than Words” by Derrick Jensen
Thank you!
