Hi Ecologers - I'm teaching a non-major's biology class this fall that I'm calling "human ecology". I'm looking for a pop-science book that deals with one or all of the following: urban ecosystems, the anthropocene, human systems, humans as a dominant evolutionary driver. I want it to be forward thinking, and not doomy and gloomy, if possible. I have a couple of books in mind that deal with human evolution and smaller scale stuff as well as past human ecosystem interactions.... but want to have students read something bigger picture.
Thanks and feel free to e-mail me directly. Cheers, David David R. Johnson, PhD Department of Biology St. Edwards University davi...@stedwards.edu
