New York Times Bestseller list ?
Q. Why does it seem that every single book is on the New York Times Bestseller list? Nearly every book I own has that printed somewhere in or on it. Tell me why, if every book seems to be listed, is this so prestigious that it has to be printed in/on the book and name some books NOT on the list.

If everyone else is buying it, it must be worth you buying. Many people tend to use the list as a guide on what to buy.

Q. Were American Indians Really Environmentalists? By Thomas E. Woods Posted on 7/19/2007 | Subscribe or Tell Others | The traditional story is familiar to American schoolchildren: the American Indians possessed a profound spiritual kinship with nature, and were unusually solicitous of environmental welfare. According to a popular book published by the Smithsonian Institution in 1991, "Pre-Columbian America was still the First Eden, a pristine natural kingdom.

A. I am not sure how to respond to such a long statement posed as a question. Certainly the Indians lived closer to nature than we do. But nature is not what city people think it is. It is not nearly as nice and clean as they think. And the Indians knew this. And I agree, that environmentalists are just using these stories for the propaganda value.
