One that I remember to this day is "A history of their own". It was history told from the viewpoint of jobs held by women.

I only read volume 1, didn't know that volume 2 had been printed.

2007... think the world won't go on without us if we annihilate ourselves? There are insects breaking & entering your home as we speak; give flora & fauna time, humanity's dominion over this planet is overrated.

2010... India & Pakistan's toiling over Kashmir, one of the most glaciated locales on the planet... if that goes via climate change, with the population bases there without water... nuclear states??
