I am fairly flexible in terms of book choice, but I
am more likely to approve books that deal with environmental history (although,
as a geographer, I tend to think of this field as the discovery of
historical geography by historians), the history of
medicine and the history of
technology.
I have listed books and works by authors that I find of particular
interest in the suggested readings of the syllabus.
More comprehensive lists of books dealing with environmental, medical
and technological history can
be found on various Websites. I recommend the following:
• Environmental History

Arizona State biology professor Stephen Pyne's Websites "Environmental
Historiography - Canon and Counter-Canon" and "Introducing
