Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century by Ami Kealoha
A truly unprecedented endeavor, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century, provides cutting-edge solutions and ideas for constructing a more livable future. With contributions from more than 60 acclaimed writers, including a forward by Al Gore and an introduction by Bruce Sterling, this volume has been likened to the hippie bible, The Whole Earth Catalog, but retooled for the iPod generation. Worldchanging contains 600 pages of novel ideas like urban farming, hydrogen cars, pop-apart cell phones, and plywood made from fast-growing bamboo as well as giving advice on whom to text to advocate international debt relief or how to build an iPod speaker from a recycled Altoid tin. Available from Amazon.

Maak Eebuh T-Shirts
Harlem-based design house Maak Eebuh is launching their debut line of T-shirts "The War Series," aiming to provoke comment and build dialogue about the war in the Middle East. After working in costume design and high-end fashion at Yigal Azrouel, designer Jade Schulz started the line of limited edition tees earlier this year as "a brand whose artwork filters important issues of the moment...

Ice Cream
Phaidon has a knack for publishing massive overviews that inform, educate, become trusted resources for years to come, and—as is the case with their "cream" series on emerging artists—boast amazing packaging as well. The latest edition, Ice Cream, is no exception with its rainbow mylar cover that takes us back to our sticker collection days. Fortunately, what's inside the cover doesn't disappoint, including some...

Hoopla
The black sandpaper book jacket says it all. Who else but the famed Miami-based advertising firm Crispin Porter+Bogusky (CP+B) would create a cover designed to collect DNA for passing on to future generations? It's this type of wildly inventive thinking backed by a playfully ironic attitude that has made CP+B one of the most commonly recognizable names in the field over the last five...

Gorillaz Giveaway
Like the concept itself, Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre is a part fictional, part real account of the band's rise to fame. Faux interviews and Jamie Hewlett's illustrations, as well as a few real photos, make up the hardcover book, bringing out both imagined and true-to-life details. Highlights include track-by-track "making of" stories, British humor and, overall, behind-the-scenes insight into one of the most...

An Inconvenient Truth DVD
If anything is going help you have a good yule this year—and more importantly for years to come—this "essential viewing" film about the threat of global warming is the one. A year ago no one would have believed that a film about a slideshow could have proved such a big hit with audiences around the world, but thanks to the persuasive powers of Al...

Suck UK Sun Jar
I'll admit that Suck UK can be a little bit hit and miss with its creations, but I think the Sun Jar is spot on. Using a solar cell, battery and LEDs, it effectively collects sunlight during the day so you can use it at night. Simple and effective, with the bonus of being eco-friendly, the Sun Jar costs around £20....
