Steyer, Tom

This audio will appeal to listeners seeking a thorough, thought-provoking guide to the economics of environmentalism. Recommended for fans of climate-conscious activists such as Jeremy Rifkin and Naomi Klein.

Steyer's call to arms for privacy law reform and regulatory oversight should be heeded like the Rapture ("The last time we seriously examined our nation's privacy laws [1998], Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was still in grade school, and YouTube, text messaging, and Twitter didn't exist."). With Facebook's history of privacy abuse becoming the equivalent of Wal-Mart customer service, anyone with an online footprint should take note. This is essential reading, full of sound, fair, and forward-thinking advice. Required.

A fascinating exploration of past life forms, this book will appeal to anyone interested in paleontology and Earth's history.
