Mark Avery must have been somewhat busy this past week, as he only posted two books for this week’s Sunday Book Review – and the two books he chose are as different as cheese and chalk.

Faster than a Reading Mark Avery
I’m not certain as to his respective land speed, physical strength, or vertical leaping capabilities, but when it comes to Mark Avery’s speed at reading books, he’s definitely super. I turn my back for a fortnight and he’s got four new book reviews posted to his blog.
Mark is a Beaver Believer
It was approximately two months ago while out upon my morning walk that I casually looked over at the creek that ran under the second bridge I cross along my usual path and was struck at how the water seemed unnaturally still. Stopping and peering a bit farther over the bridge rail, I discovered the reason: some local beavers had constructed a dam across the flow just before it reached the bridge.
Mark Folds Five
I’m not entirely sure just what the meaning behind the name of the alternative rock music group Ben Folds Five is (particularly as it was apparently a trio), but in the case of Mark Avery’s most recent Sunday Book Review in which he takes Dieter Helm’s newly published “Net Zero: How We Stop Causing Climate Change” from HarperCollins UK, five fold is how Mark describes his reasons for recommending the book.
