Unveiling the New Book List

As you may have noticed, a great deal of information has disappeared from the sidebar. Do not fear, however, it is now all contained in one big list of the ecologically relevant books on our website. Subtitles and authors' names are now included on the list for all the books.

All of the reviews by Blogging Bookworms are also included in this index, listed under each book that has been reviewed. The reviews are listed in chronological order since some reviews take up where others left off.

Please check out the new and improved list of Ecologically Relevant Books. I welcome any feedback you have on this new format.

If you have suggestions for additional books to add, or a review of something on the list, please let us know on the Monday Round Up post! Updates to the "Big List" will happen approximately once a week.
