Reviews
Move over Amazon, here are some review links and reader feedback which I think are telling:
I’ve always been surprised in big cities. It turns out stories from a small southern town strike a chord even in Manhattan. He works at a communications company called Green Team, with my daughter. Here is his second installment.
Here’s a review that I stumbled across on Google when working on my own book review pages. And one from an independent bookstore in Durango Colorado.
Here’s a fun review from Sustainablog. This one traveled the blogosphere. Here’s one from Nashville.
It’s nice to get noticed in Carrboro. California keeps weighing in.
Here are some thoughts from Wisconsin. And from someone in a big city out west.
I just assumed my book would influence those running for Congress. Here’s one from Voice of America.
Here is a long, thoughtful review from Pittsboro. And a heartfelt missile from Colorado.
Here’s a review from Long Island. And a plug from L.A. Here’s one from Idaho.
John Ousterhout is a biodiesel activist, educator, and influential commentator. Along with some great suggestions for a second printing, I parsed this review together from his email.

Here’s Frank Kaminski’s take from The Energy Bulletin
From the Independent Weekly. Wendell Berry of Chatham County? Wow.
Blake Tedder lost his online shopping habits awhile back, in favor of local economy. Here is his take.
My big brother Jim doesn’t agree with me on all points–he is genuinely big in what he does, but hey, we are brothers, and surely brotherly love conquers all.
I’ve been an “open source” advocate for quite some time. The “open source” software movement has had a tremendous influence over our work in grassroots biodiesel, and that has not gone unnoticed in some reviews of Small is Possible.
The first is by Michael Tiemann, of Red Hat fame, who reflects on similarities here.
The next is by Tarus Balog, of OpenNMS, who is in the book and reflects here.
Biodiesel Power also landed some nice reviews:
Here’s one from Alaska. One from YES! Magazine. One from California. One from Bulgaria which syndicates the reviews of others.
