2014 Summer Reading Assignment for
Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS)
To prepare you for ESS this fall, you will read one book from the list provided on the attachment below. Although each book is related to ecology, they focus on different aspects such as energy, recycling, oceans and drastic events. I have included a short summary of each book so that you may be acquainted with the choices and make your selection based on interests that you have.
There are several of these books that I was able to find a pdf online but many of them you will have to either purchase the book online or from a company.
After you have read the book, you will write a paper (1.5 to 2 page typed and double-spaced). The specifics for the paper are in the attachment. The paper is due before we come back to school (due by Wed. August 20th) via e-mail: echristenbury@asiv.lt
I look forward to seeing you in August. Happy reading!
