The Manhattan Project of 2009 Best Nonfiction Book I've Read

Post by beyondgreen »

OK I admit I like a gushy love story or a real live forensic mystery but the world events have sent me on a mission. The high cost of gas, electric, groceries and everything else that depends on foreign oil to be used , produced or shipped has almost ruined me financially. I set out to find out what is behind it all and what alternatives are available. I found this book called The Manhattan Project of 2009 by Jeff Wilson. It is truly fascinating. It has opened my eyes to what is behind our dependence on foreign oil. How much money we pump into the economy of countries that hate us with each gallon of their oil we use. What is out there we could be using instead such as wind power and solar power as well as modern technology such as hybrid and plug in cars. It is truly an eye opening read and so very interesting. I hope our country wakes up soon and heeds the call . The book is available on Amazon and Wilson has a web site that explains this better than I can. If you care about our economy and environment, the future of our world for ourselves and our children check it out.

Historians sometimes like to engage in a game of “what if?” about the close calls and random twists of fate embedded in the drama of history.
A tantalizing opportunity for such speculation comes in what historian and author David Hackett Fischer calls “that high summer of 1609.”
As the French explorer Samuel de Champlain paddled a canoe on July 31 to the southern edge of the lake that now bears his name, the English seaman Henry Hudson was sailing north along the river christened in his honor and anchored just north of Albany on Sept. 19.
