1- Rising by Elizabeth Rush

This book introduces how climate change is affecting American shorelines, provides critical evidence of the devastating changes already faced by some coastal dwellers. Rush, who teaches creative nonfiction at Brown University presents firsthand accounts of these changes.

Rush also presents a legible overview of scientific understandings of climate change and the options for combating it. In the midst of a highly politicized debate on climate change and how to deal with its far-reaching effects, this book deserves to be read by all.

Rising seas trouble us so much not just because of global warming but for the choices our society has made about how to treat the coasts.

3- Road To Character by David Brooks

David Brooks, writer and columnist at the New York Times, he examines his life and the lives of Dwight Eisenhower, George Marshall and George Eliot among others, searching for ways people build character.

Brooks hopes his readers will come away pursuing “eulogy virtues” with the same vigor they pursue professional success and that they discover there is wisdom in history and literature that can not be found in academic journals.

Some disagree with portions of ”Brooks” conclusions and their arguments are not unfair but he includes interesting stories and a compelling framework for finding purpose in more than wealth and professional success.
