Modern Heartfelt Books for Every Nature Library

All members of thecommons,

A few weeks ago I requested that people suggest two modern, heartfelt books
that should be included in every nature library. Thank all of you who
responded. Here is a list of the books that we members of thecommons felt
were significant in our lives. Though much discussion ensued about some of
these books, I merely list them here, without comment, by author and title.
