The Global Environmental History and Environmental Humanities offers an immense selection of topics. Starting with topics like activism and toxicity as well as reaching into the domain of food and animals, there is something for everyone. The list contains books that are already available in the library of the university in Augsburg and books which are in the process of acquisition.
