My list of books "to read" is getting out of control and it seems easy to let that be low priority, even though reading a good book is *the best*. So I had the genius idea of recruiting some graduate students to take a seminar where we read and discuss some of the recent conservation literature together. We've got six exciting non-fiction books on our agenda to explore how to communicate with the public and to explore some general issues in conservation biology. We are all blogging about our reads--books & blog links below--we would love to hear the non-fiction conservation books for the public that you have loved.
