For those trying to navigate the daily onslaught of headlines from the Middle East, Dan Smith's latest book, The State of the Middle East: An Atlas of Conflict and Resolution, will come in handy. Published by the University of California Press, Smith's 'atlas' guides readers through the tumultuous region's complex issues and conflicts. The book is broken into sections that cover everything from the Ottoman Empire, to the formation of the state of Israel, through the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, and beyond. It's filled with readable graphs and colorful maps that pinpoint everything from regional ethnic and language groups to military spending and urbanization. -- Jenna Fisher

Permaculture Activist empowers ordinary citizens by encouraging self-sustained living. November's issue ponders 'The Art of Permaculture,' touching on various creative endeavors as they cross paths with permaculture, from writing to environmental art to performance. In 'Is Beauty the Forgotten Permaculture Principle?' editor Scott Horton notes that 'some permaculturists frown upon aesthetics.' He cautions against such a view, arguing that design -- a core tenet of sustainable living -- is inherently linked to aesthetics and calls for permaculturists to reclaim art and infuse beauty into all creations. -- Suzanne Lindgren
