Hobbies
This is probably the first book I've read in the environmental ethics/philosophy genre. Overall, it's not a particularly enjoyable read and if you're anything like me you certainly won't go flying through it, but it has both modified my world view and given me a greater understanding of the one I already had. Truly it deserves more recognition than it has, and I am glad to have been lent it.
