When you get a copy you’ll find that it’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to solid, informative, and entertaining writing devoted to issues of climate, environmental justice, biodiversity, and so much more.

(The page also includes videos, podcasts, lectures and more.) Best of all, it’s a curated list that provides a bit of information about each entry and a link for learning more. Here are a few book examples:
