This Suggested Bibliography Supports
The Adult Learning Program
Of The Mangrove Seed


The lists reflect many important readings relevant to harmonious living,
but they are not inclusive of all authors and subject material.

An attempt has been made to include at least one relevant book
of many that an author may have created; the reader may search out others.
There is no order of importance implied in the listings;
and, there is a wide range of intellectual depth,
ranging from books for children to esoteric treatises.

The Mangrove Seed does NOT benefit financially from the sale of these books.
