ZAGAT San Francisco Bay Area Restaurants 2009
First to recommend
Description
I lived in SF for two years, and in that time I had some of the best Vietnamese food and burritos I've ever had. I would get into arguements with friends over which spot had the best pho bo or burritos. It will be interesting to see who the Zagat guide picked. (via Amazon)

The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot
First to recommend
Description
I really want to read this book by activist and social critic Naomi Wolf who explains in very simple language how are democracy is in jeopardy at this very moment. And not from an external threat, but from what the "forefathers" of the U.S. talked about in the Declaration of Independence. A truly patriotic book for those who want to make sure life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are not compromised and remain the basic tenets of our democracy. (via Amazon)

Wind Energy Basics: A Guide to Small and Micro Wind Systems
