On the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) blog, I recently published a post discussing the Icelandic tradition of Jólabókaflóð–the Yule Book Flood, also known as the Christmas Book Flood. If you love to read, then the idea of giving and getting books as holiday gifts, followed by settling down with your loved ones to read and snack on Christmas Eve, may sound like a better dream than a white Christmas. In this post, I presented suggestions (both fiction and non-fiction) for books related to sustainability issues, along with resources to help you discover even more reading material.

To learn more about the tradition and to add those titles to your gift shopping and/or personal reading list, check out “Celebrate the Yule Book Flood with these books on sustainability issues.”
