	there's a hippo in my cistern Pete May The hilarious true-life tale of one man's journey from self-confessed planet-killing lad to eco-friendly, green-crusader Dad set against the backdrop of Cool Britannia, Blair's Britain and the rise of the green movement. Back in the nineties, Loaded journalist, Pete May was your normal twenty-something male: a football mad, beer guzzling, Dr Who watching lad's lad, quite happy surrounding himself with countless pizza boxes, beer cans and other environmentally unfriendly consumer items. Recycling to Pete was a debate about whether he should turn his socks inside out and reuse them. Then one day, out of nowhere, along came eco bunny Nicola -- a greener than green environmental activist. Could two people so different really fall for each other? Would Pete ever change his ways and sign up to the green lifestyle of composting loos, freezing cold houses, multiple jumper wearing, chicken rearing, recycling, cycling, energy saving and general self-sufficiency? This is the charming and funny true-life tale of one man's struggle to grapple with the good life, go green and get the girl. 320pp more on people general Price: £7.99

	women in green: voices of sustainable design Kira Gould & Lance Hosey Exploring a variety of topics ranging from communities to buildings to product design, the book explains, for the first time, how the sustainable design field is influenced by women and women's ways of working. In addition to gathering input from a cross-section of individuals involved in environmental and sustainability issues, the authors surveyed a broad range of literature, reviewed a number of studies and compared statistics from various organizations. What they discovered is a real need in all of us to find more balanced ways of working and living. Women in Green explains the often overlooked roles women have played as key catalysts in sustainability. The book will help women and men understand the limitations of business as usual and suggest different approaches to solving today's complex problems. 256pp more on people general Price: £14.95

	diary of a reluctant green: can you save the planet and have a life? Richard Hallows Richard Hallows was very unconvinced that going green would be easy enough to keep himself motivated, or that his small contribution to the planet's welfare would be worth having. However, guilt and a desire to reduce his household bills persuaded him, reluctantly, to give it a try. This is his diary of the first few months of going green - funny, cynical and full of practical tips. He's not always convinced by the arguments, he's driven mad by the contradictions in eco-guidelines, and he doesn't always succeed. But he reveals how his family manages to save the planet at least a little bit. 192pp more on people general Price: £7.99
