For my teaching assistant job, I have to read a book about environmental change (fiction or non-fiction) and give my students a sample power point presentation so that they can do the same later with their own book.
I asked my friends for help, and here is what they suggested:
- “The Last Nut” by Gavin Coates
- From Aldo Leopold’s book of essays, A Sand County Almanac, “Wilderness”
- Jared Diamond’s “Collapse”
- Eugene Smith’s “Minamata”
- Sebastiao Salgado’s “Workers”
- “Ishmael” by Daniel Quinn (X 3)
- “The Botany of Desire” by Micheal Pollan
- “A Short History of Progress” by Ronald Wright
- Shel Silverstein’s “The Giving Tree”
- Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax”
- Thoreau’s “Walden” (honorable mention to incite them to stand up on their tables Dead Poet style)
Happy reading!
