Books All Readers Should Benefit by Reading

Here are two informative books worth reading that haven't yet been discarded by the Administrator of the Peoria Public Library System. (See The Peoria Chronicle blog)

"The Great Depression" - America in the 1930's, by T.H. Watkins and "Green Metropolis" - Why Living Smaller, Living Closer, and Driving Less are the Keys to Sustainability, by David Owen.

Both books may add more insight to your reasoning or "blow up" some of your favorite conceptions. The later is a book all the "movers and shakers", (includes politicians who take the time to read a book) should read.

I heard that "The Great Depression" - America in the 1930's, by T.H. Watkins and "Green Metropolis" - Why Living Smaller, Living Closer, and Driving Less are the Keys to Sustainability, by David Owen are very good books to read. I want to know, whether we will get these books online to buy. What will be the price?
Really by reading books we will gain some knowledge about the things which we don’t know in our daily lives. Books will give immense knowledge and in situations, it will be a great help to the persons handling the circumstances.

Books are available for free use to all library card carriers at Lakeview Public Library.

I lived thru the greater part of the depression but I had forgotten much of the history. Many historians believe it was gearing up for WWII and the war that really got the economy humming.
