Year: 2008
Price: About $21.95There has been plenty written about consumerism and why we spend, but this is the first time I've seen it explored in evolutionary terms. It's an interesting theory, that our somewhat irrational consumer habits are the result of ancient survival mechanisms. In order to create more a sustainable future, we need to learn to recognize enough when we see it, and evolve a stop button. |

A Matter of Death and Life |

 Author: Andrey Kurkov
Publisher: Vintage
Year: 2008
Price: About $14.95A Matter of Death and Life is shorter than Kurkov's other works. Almost a short story in fact, and it has a plot to match - man wishes to die, but decides assassination is more glamorous than suicide, and hires a hitman to take him out. You can probably guess what happens after that. |
