Best of Green: Culture & Celebrity

The go-to publisher for all things sustainable, Chelsea Green "wrote the book" and now owns the online social media bailiwick with the same green gusto, weblog feeds to short-form tweets. The catalog of 400 plus titles includes Naomi Wolf's The End of America, and George Lakoff's bestseller Don't Think of an Elephant!, a handy guide for framing the debate when chatting up Fox News fans. Definitive authors cover green building, organic agriculture, energy, fair trade, and toxic products--all printed on recycled paper. "Tiny but politically mighty," says Publisher's Weekly. Must-have titles like Mark Schapiro's Exposed prove it is sized just right. -R.C.
